Oops, my mistake - my nroff reading skills are clearly lacking :)

In my head I was planning on replacing the unthought.net link and when I saw it
 was still there I didn't look further to see the extra URL - thanks for that :)

I wonder if it's time to deprecate the http://unthought.net/Software-RAID.HOWTO/
reference though? Jakob agreed to the inclusion of all the material in the wiki
so we're not losing anything (and we are on a webwide URL cleaning exercise at
the moment.)

So, you may feel that:

For further information on mdadm usage, MD and the various levels of
RAID, see:
  http://linux-raid.osdl.org/
(based upon Jakob Østergaard's Software-RAID.HOWTO)

is now appropriate... if which case, patch below.
