Well, now that you mention it - i must have been really blind there :-[  
- disklabeling the normal disks to the
max and not doing so on the raid devices - thanks for setting me stright 
there. Nevertheless the blindness
had something good - I was made aware of "bacula" - so far it looks very 
promising.

Anyhow the malloc failure in the raid setup code should be fixed to 
leave a clean state after malloc failure.

Thanks
