Bug Description
When setting up software RAID with the ubuntu 8.10 installer, no option is given for chunk size and when building a RAID 5 array, defaults to 64 kilobyte. A much better default choice would be 256k or 512k. There should either be an option for chunk size in the installer, or it should default to a saner value.
