Hi Danny,
Thanks for the info. I will try to contact Phillip Susi directly. I already had some contact with him in the past. Lets see if we can make this tool fully functional. For my own system I implemented dm-raid.ko support into dmraid and the kpartx work-around. But I got some minor errors with gdisk when adding partitions to the raid. And I also find it dangerous that such an essential tool is dependent on another tool. Kind regards, Mark-Willem Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 10:08:28 +0100 From: danwood76@xxxxxxxxx To: ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Picking up development of dmraid Hi Mark-Willem Jansen You may want to speak with Phillip Susi of the Ubuntu Dmraid team. He built a set of patches a long while ago that I don't think got included in the stable dmraid. He knows the ins and outs of dmraid and has spends a lot of time bug fixing during Ubuntu release cycles. I think the main reason that this project has died is because it is a very niche market. It's usually only used by the people who run a dual boot with Windows as Mdadm is far superior for pure Linux installs. Also GPT can already be used on top of dmraid, as far as I know you use dmraid to initialise the block devs and kpartx to deal with partitions. Good luck and best regards, Danny |
