Backwards compatibility, I imagine. Some people started using devfs
with the 2.4 kernels and their system would break without it. Having
it as an option doesn't hurt and it can be turned off if you don't
like it or have upgraded to udev. (udev, btw, wasn't production-ready
at the time 2.6.0 was released)

My first RAID experience was with a 3Ware controller. It works just
fine, even with the root fs on the raid array. The BIOS handles
everything needed for bootstrapping. The OS merely sees a single SCSI
block device. (Just FYI, since you're clearly using software raid)

seven that are detestable to him :
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,

a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
