Hi Neil,
A couple of things, recently I tried to make a new system (MDADM/latest/SW
RAID1) and noticed that GRUB & LILO still only support 0.90 superblocks.
This leads me to my next question.
Will the newer superblocks be supported? I ask this due to my final
question.
With 0.90 superblocks, I have never seen any array (raid1,raid5,raid6) try
to correct a read-error, but when I made an array with 1.2 superblocks
(not the boot volume of course) using VelociRaptors, great for testing
crap disks that don't work in read, I did see it try to correct read
errors! I was wondering if that is only applicable to superblocks >=
1.x+?
I know you can build yourself an initrd/miniroot so/on/so forth but its
nice when you can just build a kernel, run lilo and have it auto-detect
the raid1 volumes and boot accordingly (as you can with 0.90 superblocks).
Justin.
