> I had no idea about this particular configuration requirement. None of just to be clear: it's not a requirement. if you want the very nice auto-assembling behavior, you need to designate the auto-assemblable partitions. but you can assemble "manually" without 0xfd partitions (even if that's in an initrd, for instance.) I think the current situation is good, since there is some danger of going too far. for instance, testing each partition to see whether it contains a valid superblock would be pretty crazy, right? requiring either the "auto-assemble-me" partition type, or explicit partitions given in a config file is a happy medium... - 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
