     I can give you root / remote access to one of our test systems with debian
     5.0 and webmin 1.480 (clean install) on it if you like. The system has 12x
     500Gb disks to play around with.
     Let me hear if I should setup that for you.

   That would be great! Even better would be a sample mdadm.conf showing the
   kind of config you'd like Webmin to be able to create, as I haven't used
   global spares before ..
