I've been watching patch after patch go by on this list, which leads

mdadm, as included in major linux distributions (in my case, Debian
Lenny)?
Pretty good - we use it on a few tens of servers. Overall we find it
easier to manage, and more reliable than hardware RAID...
Debian definitely gets updates - although the Debian team could
probably do with more help keeping tabs on them. Two good
cross-reference sources are probably this list, and the RHEL kernel
update changelogs.....
tim@zebedee:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
5.0.6
tim@zebedee:~$ zgrep -i raid

- md: handle writes to broken raid10 arrays gracefully
- md: raid10: fix use-after-free of bio
- md: Fix raid10 recovery problem.
- md: Avoid oops when attempting to fix read errors on raid10
Uh oh. Now I am worried. I've been running 2.6.26-2-xen-686, on a
couple of production machines, for a while now, on top of RAID10 - and
that version of the kernel doesn't get a lot of attention.
Sigh...
