Funny, that.  I miss the old Megaraid controllers.  They had features  
that the very best of modern raid are all lacking.  Like 3ware, which  
apparently doesn't protect the partition information.  My ancient DPT  
and Megaraid controllers all did that.  Sad how far backwards the  
technology has gone.
