How To Set Up Software RAID1 On A Running System

Hello everyone!

I've got a question to the following tutorial:

http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-se...ystem-incl-grub-configuration-debian-lenny-p2

There is something I don't understand:

Why should I modify /etc/mtab? As I know, it's created dynamically. So is there any benefit in editing this file?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I *think* it is ok if you don't modify the file, but I didn't test it.
