<html> <head> <style></style></head> <body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'> Hi Danny,<br><br>Thanks for the info.<br><br>I will try to contact Phillip Susi directly. I already had some contact with him in the past. Lets see if we can make this tool fully functional.<br><br>For my own system I implemented dm-raid.ko support into dmraid and the kpartx work-around. But I got some minor errors with gdisk when adding partitions to the raid. And I also find it dangerous that such an essential tool is dependent on another tool.<br><br>Kind regards,<br><br>Mark-Willem<br><br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 10:08:28 +0100<br>From: danwood76@gmail.com<br>To: ataraid-list@redhat.com<br>Subject: Re: Picking up development of dmraid<br><br> 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></div> </div></body> </html>
