I've found step-by-step instructions for installing RHL7.3 onto a system with
all the disks on this controller, and then on to build the kernel with the
linux native ataraid controller.  That's all cool.

What I'm wondering is:
1. Is this truly a hardware RAID controller?  I've seen references to it being
a quasi-hardware RAID solution...

2. With the hot-swap chassis, can the linux ataraid controller really do the
hot-swapping and auto-rebuilding of drives?  This is currently how my customer
does backups (yes, I am pushing them to get a tape drive) and if we cannot do
hot-swaps then we'll have to figure something out...

Thanks!
