Usually mdadm on a boot/root partition leads to corruption, have you
failed/replaced a drive and tried to recover ?
Relying on something is only good until it fails ..

3.) Software RAID/Fake-RAID is not suited for the enterprise

LSI SAS1064E controller
I'm begin to test raid management at lvm level (available since last
lvm releases), maybe it could be easy to extend the proxmox installer.
I made some tests months ago, and I was socked to see that when a disk
in LVM raid-1 broke, LVM provided no warning (as opposed to mdadm,
that sends a message and logs to syslog).
Maybe it was bad configuration on my part, but it made us continue to
use mdadm for softRAID and never look back.
BTW, we have mdadm deployed for production purposes in a pair of
clusters with success. I think that with the level of expertise
required to manage mdadm softRAID, relaying on the debian installer is
good enough.
