    Linux software RAID has nothing hardware specific. You create md
    (multi-disk) devices out of existing hardware partitions. The nbd
    or enbd drivers connect to partitions on a remote machine over the
    network and RAID1 mirroring can work over them as though they were
    local partitions.
