Hi Mark-Willem Jansen<br>
<br>
You may want to speak with Phillip Susi of the Ubuntu Dmraid team.<br>
He built a set of patches a long while ago that I don't think got
included in the stable dmraid.<br>
He knows the ins and outs of dmraid and has spends a lot of time bug
fixing during Ubuntu release cycles.<br>
<br>
I think the main reason that this project has died is because it is
a very niche market.<br>
It's usually only used by the people who run a dual boot with
Windows as Mdadm is far superior for pure Linux installs.<br>
<br>
Also GPT can already be used on top of dmraid, as far as I know you
use dmraid to initialise the block devs and kpartx to deal with
partitions.<br>
<br>
Good luck and best regards,<br>
Danny<br>

Dear dmraid developers,<br>
<br>
Sometime in this mail-list it was said that the program dmraid
was in maintaining mode and not further developed anymore. In
the meantime the dm-developement team has put out new dm-target,
which can be used by the tool.<br>
<br>
I would like to fork the latest RC and put on github, to
continue developing the tool. I will give it a slightly new
name, so people will not confuse it with the original. My plan
is to add the support for new dm-targets and also implement more
partition tables, starting with GPT.<br>
<br>
I am not really good at generating new names, but here are some
ideas.<br>
<br>
dmraid-fbmw (forked by Mark-Willem)<br>
dmraid-fu (follow-up)<br>
dmraid-ext (extended version)<br>
<br>
So my question which name you think is a good one for the
forked?<br>
<br>
And who can I connect if I have some questions about the tool.<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
<br>
Mark-Willem Jansen<br>
