Isn't it true that autodetection won't work if you build it out of whole disks, though? The kernel looks for "fd" type partitions to add to RAID arrays on boot and sets them up according to their superblocks. An array made of whole-disks couldn't have partition types, so it couldn't use this to setup. This is my understanding, so if I'm wrong, please let me know. - -Ryan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA4nU3KQgTRJGqPXQRAgE7AJ49oaNdKngkoQEWdXbqd0SuGtjq9wCfbE0t yqLMf/+Ehn8+ST56+HJMxcQ= =ZgQv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
