Hi, how is it ensured that superblock(for example version 1.2) can be created at 4KiB from the beginning of the drive? I mean isn't there a hazard that this area on the disk is already occupied for example by the bootloader stage 1.5? In addition, if software-RAID is created using partitions for example like this: mdadm --create --verbose --level=1 --metadata=1.2 --chunk=64 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 ..then how should one ensure that for example MBR/GPT is mirrored or bootloader data is mirrored which both are located out of partition boundaries? regards, Martin -- 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
