This makes 1.0 the default sb type for new arrays.
IIRC there was a discussion a while back on renaming mdadm options (google "Time
to deprecate old RAID formats?") and the superblocks to emphasise the location
and data structure. Would it be good to introduce the new names at the same time
as changing the default format/on-disk-location?
Yes, I suggested some layout names, as did a few other people, and a few
changes to separate metadata type and position were discussed. BUT,
changing the default layout, no matter how "better" it seems, is trumped
by "breaks existing setups and user practice." For all of the reasons
something else is preferable, 1.0 *works*.
