(open)solaris and zfs answer ALL your problems and questions! believe me!
I've been using linux combined with a bunch of disks and software raid for two or three years now.. and it works great, it still does. but all those little things you get annoyed of after some time are gone with solaris/zfs.
- management is done in two - 2 - commands ! way easer than the linux crap - increase / decrease storage pool without recreating the array - no raid write hole - backups with zfs snapshots (very cool!) - protection from data corruption - all the other cool stuff in solaris and especially solaris 10!
just have a look at it, it's all really great! good docs are available at docs.sun.com or google of course
