It sorts sucks for users with that hardware. The typical complaint
comes from trying to share data between Windows and Linux, where "just
use md" isn't a solution.

Without device mapper (another new feature) to enable dmraid, these
users are just sorta S.O.L.

I consider it not a new feature, but a missing feature, since otherwise
user data cannot be accessed in the RAID setups.
