At the moment 1.0.0rc16 is included, with latest fedora patchset, development has been stopped. mdadm supports some isw and ddf fakeraid chipsets. You need to try yourself what works best for you. mdadm does only support ISW and DDF devices up to now. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
