Subject: [PATCH 0/2] cannot examine IMSM metadata on a disk in non-IMSM compliant system
IMSM metadata handlers have following requirements:
- disk is attached to Intel controller (ahci or SAS)
- the whole disk set in one RAID volume belongs to the same controller
- IMSM OROM/EFI properties available
In non-IMSM system a user can always set IMSM_NO_PLATFORM=1, so above requirements need not to be met.
This series allows a user can check if there is any IMSM metadata on the disk in non-IMSM compatible system without setting IMSM_NO_PLATFORM.
Please take a look at my patches for this issue.
The patches are still under testing, only basics has been checked.
Thanks,
Marcin Labun
