i work for a software company that develops backup and disaster recovery

that we currently only support it when devices are created with
raidtools. i only recently heard about mdadm and am very impressed with
its flexibility and funtionality.

my question is how popular is mdadm in production environments as this
compares to raidtools?
it is surely gaining popularity, but i don't have any number

is mdadm used to configure software raid on any distribution
installations?
mandrakelinux is switching to mdadm for next release.

is mdadm trending to become the defacto standard for software raid on
linux?
i would hope so, but then i am biased.
