For what it's worth, I'm running Kubuntu with RAID0 configured with the
built-in Intel Rapid Storage Technology tool "Option ROM" but I have
slightly different machine: VPCZ1 (4x64GB SSD). I'm  using LVM + LUKS.
The only thing I remember giving me hard time was the Kubuntu installer
GUI, on picking the right disk.


sudo blkid gives me:

/dev/mapper/isw_bifaadbcij_QuadSSD5: UUID="..." TYPE="crypto_LUKS"

/dev/sda: TYPE="isw_raid_member"

/dev/sdb: TYPE="isw_raid_member"

/dev/sdc: TYPE="isw_raid_member"

/dev/sdd: TYPE="isw_raid_member"

/dev/mapper/isw_bifaadbcij_QuadSSD1: UUID="..." TYPE="ext2"

/dev/mapper/isw_bifaadbcij_QuadSSD5_crypt: UUID="..." TYPE="LVM2_member"
/dev/mapper/kubuntu--vg-root: UUID="..." TYPE="ext4"
