We'd more than LOVE to support this software raid out of the box. Unfortionatly it's not that simple. The biggest issue is (and afaik nobody has been able to find a way to fix this) that a lot of people use the ataraid disks as separate disks, while the raid signatures are still on the disk (eg the controller sees it as raid). If the installer then uses the disk as raid the entire disk data is trashed and corrupted. Since a lot of people do this, detecting and avoiding this pitfall is a critical issue before the installer can use this properly. > RedHat's claim to support desktop environments does not hold when kernel > builders at RedHat are not following common open standards. where does this come from ?
