Comment 24 for bug 102973

no one in the ubuntu community seems to care. They don't aim it towards the
people who use raid5. they aim it towards the people who can't even
diagnose a compiz problem with their video driver.

There was that one guy working on the bug before. I was helping him, but i
lost access to the hardware. It wasn't my computer. He was unable to finish
working on it because the new software wasn't ready.

It sounds like all the hard work has been done, the software is ready, but
it still isn't working. it's quite hard to understand. I wish i could
help, but I don't have the hardware.

the state of this bug in ubuntu is absolutely ridiculous. Gentoo and fedora
have had this working for a long time now. I might stop using ubuntu
someday, because it bores me.

If you can afford it, you might want to get a hardware raid card. It will
be much easier to get to work, and it will be much safer. I will seriously
consider that option myself whenever i finally build a new desktop. The
problem is finding an affordable one with more than 4 ports.
