Yes, very fluffy.

First the author instructs to format the partitions, then to create raid over them and then format the raid partition. Hello?

Also when doing

    cp -ar<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/home<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/tmp/

    mount<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/dev/md2<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/home
the mount occludes the old home tree and space is wasted. (Not to mention at -a already implies -r). This stuff is so inaccurate, that I didn't bother reading further,
