We also need to consider the case where the user has disabled raid support in the bios, but the metadata and the 'iswmd' command line parameter still exist. I would expect that the OS ignores raid arrays in that case. Currently the bios-raid-enabled state can be determined by "mdadm --detail-platform -e imsm" returning 'true'.
Hmm, Currently with dmraid we're not handling this, and I'm not sure we should, what if the user does: * reset bios to defaults * boot * remember oh, darn I needed to durn on raid in the bios * reboot Now we have a fscked up raidset, because if for example it was a mirror, we will have used the partitions from the first disk (most likely) without updating the second, and without marking things dirty in the metadata. To me, if someone wants disks to stop being seen as raid, they should first mark them as not part of a raidset in the orom, and then after that if they have no other raidsets they can disable the orom.
