Kind of hard to determine without more information, but if the output of 
your mount command shows filesystems such as /dev/md0, that's a software 
RAID. If they are something like /dev/cciss/c0d0p0 or /dev/rd/c0d0p0 
they are a hardware internal SCSI RAID. I'm not sure how IDE/ATA RAID 
controllers show up.
