If by "software watchdog" you mean APIC and NMI Watchdog for uniprocessor
support enabled in the kernel, then I'm one who has these two enabled. I
use a 3ware 6400 with RAID5. Until kernel 2.4.9 I noticed that a drive
going down would halt my system. With 2.4.9 I tried removing one (I have
removable bays) and then rebuilt it, all without having to freeze,
shutdown or whatever. Great, eh, for IDE? I haven't experienced a real
hard drive failure since I used 2.4.9, though, as I did before which
caused the hardware lockups. I don't know if pulling out the drive is a
good enough simulation. :)
