It is possible that I am thinking of what you call fakeraid. Anyway this is what many users buy and look at employing. And my understanding is that you can set up the mobo controller in the bios, and then have it running with Linux, without further software. I would then like to see what the differences are, and I hope to document that Linux raid is better... Anyway I am first and foremost just curious, and if HW/fake raid is faster or better, the I would gladly recommend it. best regards keld -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
