None of the solutions being talked about perform "failing over" in userland. The RAID transforms which perform this operation are kernel resident in DM, MD, and EMD. Perhaps you are talking about spare activation and rebuild? > Similar code would need to go into the bootloader, for controllers that do > not present the entire RAID array as a faked BIOS INT drive. None of the solutions presented here are attempting to make RAID transforms operate from the boot loader environment without BIOS support. I see this as a completely tangental problem to what is being discussed. -- Justin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
