(Quite?) OT Question: Is still relevant Software RAID?

[Sergio Belkin]

Hi community,
Sorry for the OT.
I'd like to  know your opinion based on current facts :)
Do you think that (Linux) Software RAID is still relevant in this "breve
new world" of cloud/devops ?

Thanks for your opinions :)

This is probably a question better suited for the users@ list than devel@.

Yes! It is *the* solution for desktop computers to be safe from data loss 
due to disk failures.

Yes! I do not even want to dive into reasoning, because for me, it is like asking "is
CPU still relevant"?

There are still some people who don't want some cloud to live their
life for them. If anything would make software RAID irrelevant, it
would be ZFS and BTRFS, not clouds or devops. But the licensing
situation makes ZFS painful, and BTRFS seems to take forever to mature,
so it should be expected that many people will choose software RAID
instead.

No The. ZFS licensing problems you mentioned have nothing to do with users.
