Hi! A quick opinion if you do not mind.. What is a sysadmin thinking when something is wrong with the raid array he installed two years ago, and he has forgotten what is the name of the driver and everything about it? He thinks 'how can I check about this RAID stuff? How about some program called "raid"-something?' I think md driver as the most popular software raid solution in Linux deserves to use command names like raid*. "raidctrl" stands out to panicking sysadmin instantly. Think about humans using your technology, it's not the only thing they do for a living!
