RAID done by the motherboard, either completely on its own, or requiring specialist drivers. And is depending heavily on the motherboard for its existence, and quite likely to use the drives in a manner incompatible with anything else (such as having to replace the motherboard, or having to pull out a drive to read it on something else). The same can probably be said for drives plugged into a daughterboard into the motherboard. And I dare say for external boxes full of hard drives that appear like mass storage to the computer. I'd say the most foolproof scheme is a bunch of drives plugged into multiple drive ports on the motherboard, and having the OS create a RAID out of them. While some will argue about the potential speed differences between the various schemes, and others will argue it's not really that significant, the original poster's purpose for the system would suggest reliability is the main criteria. They're not doing high-speed data processing (such as rendering 3-D raytracing or high def video editing). Hardware RAID cards are expensive, have ludicrously expensive batteries, and have no concept of empty sectors or filesystems and so have to methodically replicate every sector blindly. This is a problem, especially when doing a recovery. Software RAID using JBOD and a journaling filesystem that can do RAID (ZFS, BTRFS, a couple of others) is usually somewhat faster in read and normally hundreds of times faster than hardware RAID in recovery. The only edge case where hardware RAID might even compete is when the array is near or at 100% full and there are no sectors where a software RAID can do something more intelligent. -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

Re: what kind of raid is this?
Fakeraid is the original name for this when manufacturers came up with it. Originally everyone were directly competing with the hardware raid, and the manufacturers of these raid cards did not go out of their way to tell anyone it was 99.9% software. There were fakeraid raid5/raid6 controllers that did not clarify that it was 99.9% software, hence the term being "fakeraid", as every other raid controllers prior to this were 100% hardware. And typically the fake raid needing their own heavy lifting driver were not integrated into the kernel and needed a 3rd party driver, with all of the risks of a 3rd party driver (lack of updates and support).

Re: what kind of raid is this?
It is the fakeraid driver that runs on top of standard md/dm devices. RST is Intels fakeraid setup. I am not sure if it will automatically come up (if installed on a machine without a fakeraid bios and/or not defined in the fakeraid bios). There is likely a manual way to force configured it to come up on another machine. You would want to check the dm-raid list archives. I like to avoid the fakeraids just because they are a bit more trouble and aren't as well tested/supporting with updates.
