I am not entirely sure, but i belive that packages/partman is the place to
look for, maybe look at partman-lvm and partman-raid or whatever as
inspiration. That said, partman is a bit of spaguetthi code, and i would be
glad to help you out as best i can (or maybe others could, who know partman
better).
BTW, what is dmraid about, does it allow to create and manage raid arrays for
bios-raid cards ? What about some real-raid cards, likethe 3ware one i got ?
