This article details a new architecture and architectural principles for software RAID in the context of network-attached storage, here implemented for the Linux kernel. In the network setting ``network block devices" substitute for the usual hard disks in a RAID array. Special new mechanisms for reporting, recording and recovery are required to lower re-synchronisation transfer totals, lower latency, and in order to provide an intelligent control that recognises and compensates for temporary network brown-outs. The practical outcome is a ``fast and intelligent" driver drop-in for the existing Linux software RAID subsystem.
