I don't see how hardware vs. software RAID1 makes a difference for "remote fixability". If there's a hardware problem, you're not going to remotely fix it anyway. One big advantange to software RAID1 (or software RAID in general) is precisely that you don't need special hardware. You could simply take one of the two RAID disks, plug it a different Linux machine and mount it. With hardware RAID1, I'm not sure whether that's possible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
