wait, i tought device mapper used bd_claim on the component devices,
what am i missing?
You're missing the failure case early in the boot sequence. If
something goes wrong in making the dm device, it's hard to be *sure*
nothing like "fsck -a" later goes and operates on one of the partitions.
I see.
If you could completely turn them off before creating the raid, it'd be
almost totally guaranteed that they won't do this. Just rm-ing the
remove partition detection code from the kernel and use kpartx in an
initramfs after activating dmraid?
