(Get the code!)
On Hardy all distros (including server!) do not correctly implement Raid 1 together with crypted partitions or lvm.
The whole installation process requires a well thought out strategy taking into consideration that the initramfs of a degraded system might be inappropriate and that it is not possible to create a new image before the system is up again...
With degraded arrays it all depends on the type of raid.
For raid 1 (mirroring) the user might well decide to continue booting (automatically or after manual confirmation?).
For other raid types this is high risk, but in some special cases might be necessary.
