ROTFL -- that's geek comedy at its finest...

We found that the 'data protection' features of software raid1/raid5 worked, 
but typically when a drive failed, the linux kernel was unable to provide 
useful service until it was rebooted and/or the failed drive removed.  This 
was in the 2.4 days; things may be different now.

We have since moved to 3ware hardware raid with better success in terms of 
continuing to provide service through a drive failure event.
