one comment about the change in dm-raid.
DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS
but it is very confusing, as I believe dm-raid is part of Device
Managment, which is actually nothing to do with md-raid
No, dm-raid (I mean dm-raid.c here) is a bridge between dm framwork and
md raid, which
makes dm can reuse md raid code to avoid re-implementation raid logic
inside dm itself.
Hmm...
Which backs up what I thought - if it's used by the dm people to call
md-raid, then asking for info/comments about it on the md list is likely
to get you no-where...
(apart from, like many block layer drivers, md-raid uses dm to manage
the device beneath it.)
The above statement is very confusing.
Yup. I've never understood it. But, from all my time on the list, it is
noticeable that nobody seems to know or care much about dm, and this is
simply one more data point that agrees with that impression. If you want
to know about dm-raid, you probably need to go where the dm people hang out.
