Hi, Can you tell me what is capable to do Arch Linux: Bios Raid (Fake Raid) and Virtual Raid (Software Raid)? Thank you! Forget fake-raid -- dmraid (though I have used it for years), just use Linux software RAID (mdadm). Far more flexible and a guaranteed migration path forward. The overhead for software raid was negligible on on single-core 486 machines, it isn't even in the noise anymore.
You can do either in Linux, I believe both work with mdadm. BIOS RAID is only worth using if you plan to share the array with another OS, though, like Windows. Yaro
