See the FILE: tapetype in the docs

When its all setup, your directory will have a subdir for each of the 
'virtual tapes' you've configured it for, and a link to the currently 
active directory called 'data'.  Works pretty slick, I've been doing 
it for about a year now to a 180GB partition on a single 200GB 
commodity grade disk.  If the raid looks normal to an 'ls' listing, 
then amanda won't know, or care that its a raid.

However, under recovery situations where you may be doing a bare metal 
rebuild, I'd be a bit spooked of a raid as there is a possibility 
under those total disaster conditions, that the raid may not be 
available without a lot of pre-configuring of the md 
driver.  /dev/hdd3 will always be available for the mounting of it 
someplace suitable in a rescue situation.  However, thats just me 
being ny usual paranoid :-)
