[PVE-User] software RAID in 4.2

[Miguel González]

root at myserver:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md4 : active raid1 sda4[0] sdb4[1]
      1931980736 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      bitmap: 11/15 pages [44KB], 65536KB chunk

md2 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]
      20478912 blocks [2/2] [UU]

Considering hdparm reports same speed for the underlying disk and the
soft raid seems some settings that need to be set. I´m asking here just
to be safe in terms of proxmox and not to be too aggressive. My
impression is that with ext3 I got better performance.
