nope. not at all. ami(4) and mpi(4) are real hardware RAID. and openbsd runs these controllers very well. and in my experience, runs them better than linux imho. and speaking of adaptec? its all about their documentation not that Fake RAID thing. so i can't see any connection b/w the FakeRAID and adaptec.
Both the adaptec and many FakeRAID drivers requires binary only/close-source drivers/kernel modules and, sometimes, even userland tools. Plus it's hard for kernel developers (both Linux and *BSD) to get proper documentation of those controllers. -- Gideon N.
