Hardly. mdadm (aka Linux software RAID) was introduced in 2001, matured quickly, and is rock-stable last 10 years. LVM2's RAID implementation was added, like, 3-4 years ago (RHEL6 was first to introduce it IIRC), and it still has its' share of bugs, such as: http://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2012-July/msg00015.html For me, the whole point of RAID (barring RAID0, of course), is to protect one from the hard drive failure. If RAID implementation fails to achieve such goal - said RAID implementation is useless. Reco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
