That is a very sensible question to ask - thanks.
After a quick look - it does seem very strange. That handling of 'cfd'
and 'fd' seems quite odd.
If you would like to work out what should happen and find a simple way
to fix the code, that would be great. But I don't insist.
The patch below is quite acceptable as it is a simple solution to a
simple problem and appear consistent with nearby code. So if you gave
it a proper description, formatted it properly and posted it in a way
that didn't mess up all the white space, I would very likely accept it.
However:
- maybe we should just remove the bitmap rather than complain if we
find one. After all, we are removing other things (extra devices).
A raid0 can never had a bitmap, so when converting to a raid0, it
does make sense to remove the bitmap.
- The test you used only checks for an internal bitmap, not an external
one. External bitmaps are hardly ever used except by people who know
exactly what they are doing, so I'm not too fussed about handling
them perfectly, but testing for and removing an external bitmap
might make sense.
