could you please explain what you mean in the above sentence,
i have being maintaining mandriva mkinitrd packages for some years, and
would really love to know.
Good! I was working on a mandriva professional 2006 system 2.6.12
2006.0 is EOL
kernel, and I hacked the mkinitrd to have it generate mdadm.conf etc
- it did not at all look at this. I can send you my patches, but they
are in no way clean.
mkinitrd in 2006.0 did generate mdadm.conf and use it, so i don't know
what your patches were doing.
There was no mention of raid10 in the code either.
yes support for raid10 was added after 2006.0 release
I thied to contact Erik Troan - the main author of mkinitrd (and lots of
other stuff:-) - but got a bouncing message for his redhat address.
i think Erik does not maintain mkinitrd any more, it is quite an old
software.
And I was about to report this om qa.mandriva.com - but it seems that I
already made contact!
if you want a bug fixed on mandriva please send a bug report on
qa.mandriva.com, same applies for redhat/fedora.
If you have questions to ask, feel free.
