Dave, All, After reading https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31236, I am left with the question of "Can I move forward with Arch with my servers that have dmraid for / and /home with nvidia chipsets?" Thanks for the dmraid update dr, but will that package continue to be available? I have 3 dmraid production servers, all nvidia chipset based (reference https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_with_Fake_RAID). Bug 31236 addressed handling /home on dmraid, but excluded any discussion of / or /boot on dmraid. It also noted that the move from dmraid->mdraid was only supported for Intel chipset based controllers. Is there planned support for existing nvidia based dmraid arrays in Arch, whether by conversion to mdraid (when chipset support is available) or will the dmraid package (as patched by dreisner) continue to be available to support booting nvidia based systems under systemd? From a server standpoint (no dual-boot dmraid availability required), is the best long-term option to simply completely rebuild using mdraid (pure software raid) eliminating dmraid altogether? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
