Well, although all of reiser/ext3-fs and raid are very fine stuff, I would
definitely vote for SW-RAID to be preferred (if they can´t be included
alltogether due to incompatibilities) - because it´s been there for a much
longer time and because it gives important functionality and saves $xxx(x)
for not having to buy a HW raid controller. Ext3 and ReiserFS "only" give
faster recovery times and better performance and are not as widespread in
use as RAID 0.90 is (IMHO).

I made quite some 0.90 raid systems (about 10 ?) for customers, but NO 0.4x
system at all, also NO reiserfs and NO ext3fs system. So my impression is
quite opposite to yours.
