I (also) was under impression that linux-raid is not just for md, but for a=

kinds of RAID in GNU/Linux. It's just that historically it's mostly about m=
d.

Indeed, the majordomo info says only this:

"Welcome to the linux-raid mailing list, hosted on vger.kernel.org.
Discussions on this list should be relevant to using RAID technologies
with Linux. The list has a wiki howto at http://raid.wiki.kernel.org/"

This is somewhat contradictory with the wiki overview:

"This site is the Linux-raid kernel list community-managed reference for
Linux software RAID as implemented in recent 2.6 kernels."

So I admit to being a bit confused!  Is there a consensus among the
admins what the list topics should be?

I don't know if there is any "official" status here, but certainly most 
threads are about md raid - and this is the best source of help and 
information about md raid.  But dm-raid is also discussed here, and 
occasionally hardware raid comes up.  There are some regulars here who 
are very experienced with hardware raid and provide helpful advice - 
there are times when hardware raid is a better solution than software raid.

No one can be familiar with all the hardware raid implementations in 
common use - but maybe the OP will get lucky and someone here can help. 
  So it is certainly on-topic for the list, even if it is unlikely to 
get a useful reply.
