Yes, it can use more testing which is why we (Cisco) wanted it in the tree. However, our experience has been very positive in performance and reliability. It has passed some of our harder failure tests of which others fail (race conditions of changing data while a rebuild is happening etc.). Now I don't have to maintain our hacked together ata and ata-raid changes :-) We are very happy to see this get into mainstream FreeBSD so others can help find and fix problems. It's very nice that it can work on any type of drives and not be tied to ata disks. This means it can/could work with scsi controllers with sw raid bios extensions etc. We have been testing it with ahci and and cam attached ata disks. If the hw supports it, it can update status leds. ata/ata-raid has served us well but graid will take us into the future! It was designed from the start as something that could be extended and deal with various failure modes. A big thanks to Alexander, Warner, iXsystems and Cisco for making this happen. It was Scott's vision a few years ago and now it is a reality.
