OK, to
some extent that's me being stupid, but at the same time I correctly hooked
up the first 5 SATA ports to the hot-swap chassis and would want them
considered the same group etc.
This kind of situation is where an option-rom comes in handy i.e. the
platform firmware knows to boot from a defined raid volume. However,
it comes with quirky constraints like not supporting > 2-drive raid1.
But I see your point that it would be nice to at least have the option
auto-grow raid1 boot arrays.
As it happens this was on an Intel-chipset board with ICH10-R and option
ROM, and I would have used IMSM if RHEL/CentOS had supported it at the
time, so I'm following IMSM support developments closely.
Cheers,
John.
