You cut out the part where this is one definition of RAID that is
applied to hardware. I believe that the definition of software RAID
covers both cases. The first definition covers what the OP has. It
is one type of software RAID. Linux software RAID is a type of
software RAID as well.

Please note, I gave the source of the definition in the original
post. Where is your definition of fake RAID from?
