Heinz,
I'd really like to see dmraid be able to support Linux software RAID (md
driver) as well, at least for RAID-0/1. On my newer systems, using udev,
mdadm is difficult to use to discover arrays because it requires that
the /dev/md? devices already exist before they have been activated :-)
I've thought (and talked to Neil B.) about extending the MD driver to
have ways around this problem, but for my needs (RAID-1), using the DM
raid 1 target would suffice, and if dmraid could discover and activate
my arrays I'd be all set.
