There's a "new" breed of mobos which have a sort of hardware/software RAID built-in. It's hardware in as much as there are two extra IDE UDMA 100 channels on the board, and in that there's a dedicated processor to do the biz, and software in that it requires an OS driver to make it all happen. They support RAID 0, 1 and 0+1, all done in a little utility called at boot time. Support in Linux is currently "limited". I tried with the HPT370 chip in SuSE 7.1 and 7.2 and still couldn't get it to run reliably.
Yeah, I know about them. What I am interested in is the state of software RAID in the kernel. It's been there for ages, I just havn't got around to playing with it yet, has anyone else?
I would have a go now but then I would have to find a new home for ~10Gb of Mp3s.
