[Lustre-discuss] software raid

[Brian O'Connor]

This has probably been asked and answered.

Is software raid(md) still considered bad practice?

I would like to use ssd drives for an mdt, but using fast ssd drives
behind a raid controller seems to defeat the purpose.

There was some thought that the decision not to support
software raid was mostly about Sun/Oracle trying to sell hardware
raid.

thoughts?
