I've seen a lot of talk about RAID Personalities or pluggable RAID 
Engines lately and this got me thinking about a manual recovery 
operation I had to perform on a dead two-disk RAID-1 set caused by a 
failing RAID controller on one of my servers.  It would be very 
interesting to be able to, someday, mount hardware-RAID created disk 
sets using software-RAID.  Obviously this is sort-of counter-intuitive 
so probably being able to transition a set of drives from the 
proprietary hardware-RAID type to a more usable software-RAID type and 
keep the data in the process would be more likely to occur (or basically 
an out-of-band conversion operation.)

Anyways, just thought I'd throw that out there.
