One of the nice things about dmraid was that since it really was just software raid, if your controller blew you could recover your data by moving the drives to another machine and still recognize them. Why should mdadm care about the controller? I suppose it is nice to warn people that they are trying to create an array that the bios won't recognize, but mdadm should not refuse to run an array just because some hardware that is completely unnecessary is not found. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQ9BnyAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75tikH/jQAsx4waselA6rrKC8aFD7+ oG5pphTskS10iukkJGX8d+o/HiiMM66IuMqM3vRSNZO40P6arhAETE02jvNY9vFN fI61AMpCv0FvBFv83RRmh19HkHLQEgiztcLRI7GeTNl5aOnC4wk8NY/Rqt022bhV MGHickXUDNXtoWSXE3x03aXm9cwjIwfPbDrt3jOyrf9EqgZZW2j8uqY3PbH5Zcav slKjFOaVt98nvLeDLpBJ6pR4vKq3Qax+pOPNdvlGG0GAqftH/iEYHsopmM4D4o5L 21cI1CRfmyaF8ro0ryZPJkQVe46Ya41Qb1wd9Y6pg5mfbqGiwbQvMHi7o53Mc70= =NumJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
