I concur, software raid is a bug, not a feature, especially since if you

Never had a RAID controller die?
I've had plenty die, but the number of HW raid chips die on me is much,
much lower than the times I've had software raid fail. Plus HW raid
chips allow for full disk encryption, which is far more important to me
than worrying about a system going down due to a failed disk (I keep
backups anyway).
But the, for the most part, I don't bother with RAID in any form and
just opt for redundant systems instead. Carp+rsync on cheap boxes has
provided for a much more stable platform than trying to do
component-level redundancy.
