The real question is "which functions reside in the module and which reside in the raid hba". In earlier times software raid was frowned upon because the server cpu had to compute the necessary raid striping, which degraded performance, but today most cpus are not taxed enough to validate that argument. I have a dual boot installation Suse/WinXP on a hardware raid5, I dare you to try that with software raid. (^-^) -- Sandy List replies only please!
