mr. brown: point me to text on RAID
Sir, I have seen that you are both knowing and published. What might I buy as end-all/do-all text on RAID (software)?
Thanks for your consideration.

I'm not sure I am the best person to ask. I tend to learn by reading source materials (source code, technical papers, etc) rather than text books, so I have no experience of reading a RAID text book and finding it useful or not. Possibly others on the list might have experiences they could share.
However, having said that, I can recommend
Managing RAID on Linux
by Derek Vadala, published by O'Reilly
I know about it because I helped with the technical review. It is reasonably well balanced with general introduction material, some technical details, and some practical sys-admin guidelines. It is certainly an adequate text, and may well be a very good text.

..duh.. I am thinking... you could write a good one, publish it, included code is GPL'd, royalties yours... I'd buy the book.
