As a follow up to this general subject, what will replace the dm-raid45 module after it is dropped? I guess another way to ask that question is what functionality does the dm-raid45 module support that is not currently supported by the dm-raid module, which has aliases to dm-raid1, dm-raid4, dm-raid5, dmraid6, and dm-raid10. And is it already possible now (in recent kernels such as 3.11.x and later) to use the dm-raid module in place of dm-raid45? -- 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
