Probably when someone who really wants/needs it, and could actually write such a thing, gets around to writing it. This is definitely one big area where Linux is way behind the competition, though the argument probably will be made that, with mass storage media so cheap now, RAID is within reach of everyone. I'll buy that argument the day that all mass storage devices are hot-pluggable (without having to pay high-end server prices to get it).
Er... no. No administrator would substitute a backup for a raid. Raid is certainly safer than single disks, but there is simply no excuse for not having a backup scheme. Absolutely no excuses! -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
