It doesn't matter whethre it is hardware or software raid.  What
matters is the *geometry* of the RAID array.  i.e., how many
filesystem blocks are in an individual disk's stripe, and how many
disks are in use (minus how many parity disks are in use).  This
information may be somewhat more hidden in a hardware raid array, but
it is possible to extract this information, and most hardware raid
arrays will allow you to configure these parameters as well, to
varying degrees of flexibility.
