[ale] auto-recognized RAID partitions

[dcorbin at machturtle.com (David Corbin)]

I have a linux raid-1 drive.  But, it is not "auto-recognized" by the kernel.  
I have to run a utility after booting.   Others have suggested that I can 
just use FDisk to change the partition types to FD, and presto, everything 
will work without the utility, and there's no real risk of data loss.

I'd like further confirmation of this.

Thanks
David
