Thanks, I appreciate your advice.
Here's the advantage to fakeraid to me. Keep in mind it won't apply to most people.
I
have 4 hard disk, 2x320 in raid0 for the OS and 2x1TB in raid1 for
storage. On the raid0 I dualboot Windows and Fedora. The motherboard's
fakeraid is excellent because it provides a common interface between
Windows and Fedora. For the raid0, I probably could have used full
softraid on both OSes. (assuming Windows can boot from a soft raid0?)
However, for the raid1, where both OSes need to be able to read the
same partition, fakeraid was the only option.
