Yuck (if by ATARAID you mean those PoS controllers from, e.g., Promise --
these are slow as a snail compared to md software RAID), and Yuck for LVM
RAID too (slow, limited, cubersome).

Good software RAID is md raid :)  with LVM on top of it, of course.  LVM is
a good thing, if you do it right and never bother with 'striping' on the LVM
layer. Do it in the md RAID layer (or hardware layer, for that matter).
