When I set up my new machine (which uses two drives in RAID1) I copied over 
the partition with Ubuntu 6.06. I recently tried to upgrade to 8.04 so I could 
see how it has changed since I last used it.

What I have seen (so far) is that Ubuntu doesn't seem to support software RAID 
out of the box. It sees my two drives as separate drives. I tried to manually 
add in and enable the RAID support in the Ubuntu install but it didn't work. 
It still did not properly recognize my two drives as being part of a RAID 
configuration. Admittedly, I haven't tried very hard as Ubuntu is not my main 
Linux based distro.
