Hello, I have recently written a read-only support for linux for AIX 3 & 4 lvm disks, and submitted a patch for the linux block/partitions subsystem, for which I have no feedback yet.
Now I wonder, as AIX LVM can describe mirrored and splitted logical volumes, is block/partitions the right place for it ? It seems that only contiguous partitions can be described. Am I mistaken ? I looked also at kpartx, but it seems to me that kpartx has the same limitations as block/partitions. Should I rather make a patch for dmraid or lvm2 or some other tool I am not aware of ? What would be the best place for that support ? I have working code that can generate tables for dmsetup, and I know there is some demand for AIX LVM and AIX JFS support in linux, but where should I send it ? Thanks in advance Philippe PS: Of course, AIX LVM support does only make sense if AIX JFS file systems are supported. I have written read-only support for cwAIX JFSit also, and I plan to submit it when I have a solution for AIX LVM, so that the AIX JFS code can be tested by others. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
