Both dmraid and mdadm can manage some 'fakeraid' arrays. dmraid supports a wider variety. mdadm supports raid1 and raid5 more completely than dmraid does. Both should support isw to some degree. Intel are currently working with mdadm to make it provide full support for "IMSM" (Intel Matrix Storage Manager). I don't know the exact relationship between 'isw' and 'IMSM' - maybe they are different names for the same thing. If mdadm doesn't work for your isw arrays, and you want it to, then I suggest you report details about what is, or is not, happening. Useful information would include: mdadm --examine /dev/DEVICE for each device in the array. Also the output of mdadm --incremental --verbose /dev/DEVICE for each device in turn. This should incrementally assemble the array from all those components.
