the latest source of mdadm has ANNOUNCE-1.7.0 which indicates there will be a new superblock format. we are currently developing a process by which we read the superblock ourselves and parse through the information we need about the raid devices. our fear is that we develop the process to read the superblock and then it changes, which could cause us to completely rewrite the process. if we develop a process based on the current superblock format, will it still work with the new superblock format? is there any documentation for the format of the old superblock and new superblock? will there be any indication within the superblock that indicates which format the superblock is using? ANNOUNCE-1.7.0 also indicated support for raid10. outstanding news! while i understand this is still under development, we would like to learn as much as we can about this support so that we can support it when it is considered stable. any information you can provide is helpful. - 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
