Just curious...with these guys
(http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/KillerOverview.aspx) putting linux on a PCI
NIC to allow them to bypass Windows' network stack, has anyone ever
considered doing "hardware" raid by using an embedded cpu running linux
software RAID, with battery-backed memory?
I'd expect this to be the reason why md offload support to xor engines and
whatever turns up. It makes very little sense for a modern server/desktop
CPU, but for the embedded ones it does.
