The concept is really tempting. RAID is good, and not asking the user for information that the system can find out for itself is good too. In the unlikely event that the RAID stride were to change, I think the autodetect-each-time method would be superior to the store-in-superblock method. Doubly so if the code to detect MD and LVM stride is lean and clean.
true, but in some cases (hardware raid, SAN, etc) there is no easy way to learn that other than asking user. thanks, Alex - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
