Put your Pro's and Con's for SoftwareRaid vs HardwareRaid here.

One persons opinion

<yem> gotta rebuild this mail server and i have now sworn off kernelraid <jsr> Ah, then ebay have some 2-channel units for, like, US$50 <Remosi> why? <yem> Remosi: its nice if you don't want to spend any money. but it can be a pain to sort out the lilo issues if you have to replace a drive or shift the drives to another box <Remosi> ahh excellent point

• Remosi goes and wiki's the answer

<yem> the existing mailserver has hda and hdc in raid1. when i move those drives to another box (same channels, etc) it wont boot <Remosi> hmm <Remosi> I wonder why <yem> yeah <yem> nice while it works.. <Remosi> yah <yem> one server here is going on 18 months old on kernelraid <yem> it has kept the system up under disc failure at least once
