Hello,

I heard that GRML does automatically recognize RAID-arrays and in addition
is able to copy/image all disks of a RAID array to a single image(dd).

Is that really the case? How can that be achieved?

Thank's a lot in advance for any feedback!

Boot grml with "grml swraid" to automatically assemble existing
software raid arrays[1]

After that you can image all the devices at /dev/mdX.
