Comment 45 for bug 941874

Off topic for a bug report but I will set you straight on a few things.

Dmraid support is good but for later hardware is crappy at best but don't blame the Ubuntu devs. The original developer (a red hat guy) stopped developing the project a while ago and we have been trying to get him to merge fixes for years.

There is a far better implementation for software raid which is mdadm, but this is not compatible with windows dual boot. Do you rant on Microsofts bug reports that they don't support 100% of features of mdadm? (they actual support no features of mdadm and dont have public bug reports)

This bug has been fixed by Phillip Susi who is a dedicated maintainer and usually fixes bugs very quickly. The only issues are when bugs pop up after the development cycle which makes it harder to get them merged due to the merging requirements after release.

Final thoughts. Ubuntu is an 'Unstable' operating system (built from debian unstable) and it uses the latest software packages that can be unstable but usually in this LTS until the 12.04.1 release.
