Sorry Kristian, by fakeraid I meant softraid.
I actually boot off an mdadm RAID0 on my main system. SO it is not a requirement to use bios raid to boot off of these raid types.On Sat, May 18, 2013 at 2:04 PM, Ian Stakenvicius, Aerobiology Research <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
A small bit of terminology difference is being used, I think. Traditionally:hardware raid: raid cards that handle all HDD io independently.Bios raid / fake raid: what dmraid is meant for (or mdraid, for isw)software raid: pure software/kernel solution; using mdraid.now, as for booting -- as far as I know the only way to boot a full raid0 system is to use biosraid, since the bios cannot assemble the striped drives of a mdraid-0 in order to load the bootloader or kernel. yes this is probably a rare config (i would never run it) but if someone so chose, dmraid would be the tool for this job.You can boot from mdadm fake RAID and it is far superior in terms of features and support/maintenence and the performance is the same. So anyone with a pure linux install would be better off in mdadm.
