WHAT! You do realize that many people use quite reliable hardware raid controllers don't you? To blatantly tell someone that hardware raid is bad is pure hogwash, especially coming from a kernel developer. There are very reliable SATA and SCSI controllers available that provide hardware raid without problems.
And I recommend that you, and everyone else, avoid them like the plague for the reasons pointed out by others already. Linux does very good, and much faster, software raid today just fine, if you need RAID, stick with that. If you must also boot other operating systems on your hardware, then of course, don't use software raid, but also, don't complain when things don't work well either. thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
