Seems stable enough. The only problem I've ever had with
the RAID5 stuff is that periodically, one of the drives
would get kicked out of the set. This wasn't so bad, since
it can be just raidhotadd'ed back into the set. However,
when one goes undetected, and the next one gets kicked out,
then

Ok, its not required, but if you do care about your data I would
strongly recommend it for SW raid.

As does HW Raid. No matter how you saturate your SCSI bus,
its saturated.

Having spent a considerable amount of time trying to
ascertain the stability of vinum under FreeBSD, i'm not
confident in using it on a production box.
I don't know much (at the moment about Linux Software RAID),
but would like to hear people's experience.
It's a RAID 5 solution that interests
