Is "md RAID" (I don't know this one) compatible with ATARAID in regard of the partition/storage layout on disks, i.e. can I use ATARAID drivers to access "md RAID" disks and vice versa? I need this kind of compatibility since I dual-boot Windows 2000 on the systems in question. PS: Please don't CC me when answering to the list. The "Reply-To" header is just there for private replies.
