Hi Neil, Our validation team have reported problems with assembly on the devel 3.2 branch. I have verified that currently it is not possible to assemble any array. Patch: Assemble - avoid including wayward devices It does not affect native metadata but breaks assembly of external arrays. Only one disk is assembled for any raid level. After patch: super_by_fd: return subarray info explicitly Assembly becomes much slower. Patch: Assemble: small cleanup of error checking Breaks assembly for all metadata types. Nothing assembles after it is applied. These are just early modifications of Assemble.c. The impact of further changes can't be verified at the moment. Are you aware of the above issues? This is stopping our further validation. I also mentioned issues with Incremental in previous mail. When are you planning to submit the rest of modified autorebuild code?
