Feeding invalid configurations to ATA RAID is a good way to end up with a
bloody foot.  It would be nice to sanity-check something like that,

ATARAID is known to not be wonderfully stable in the face of bizarre
setups and failure; its a known limitation. The future plan is to replace
the current framework with something more robust.
