Whst is fake raid? I had assume that term just means software raid in the bios.

On the previous motherboard I had (and possibly the current one, I haven't investigated the functions it provides) I was sold the motherboard on the grounds that it provided Raid10 which I wanted. In order for the Raid10 to be used, and install Windows to it, I needed to supply bios provided drivers at Windows install time so that Windows could actually see the Raid devices to install to, and from what the article is saying that was an indication that it was fake raid which should allow Windows and Linux to be installed to the same devices and be interchangeable in a dual boot situation that I was doing, that was not the case with the implementation. While with the supplied drivers Windows was able to see the devices and install to them, Fedora Workstation would not install on the devices on the grounds that it could not see them, and the bios did not supply Linux drivers. At the time I was getting this issue I found documentation on the net that said Fedora Workstation could not install to Raid only Fedora Server could.
