Using 2.1.125 "out of the box", I manually edited MAX_MD_DEV in
include/linux/md.h to allow more devices -- is there any other way to do this?
Anyway, it all works just fine for the boring RAID0 and linear stuff I mostly
use, but I was hoping to concatenate two striped partitions, but it doesn't
seem to work as I'd expect ...
# /sbin/mdadd -pl /dev/md15 /dev/md[56]
# grep md15 /proc/mdstat
md15 : inactive mdf mdg 4208896 blocks
#
Any idea why it has mapped from numbers to letters ?
How should I do it ?
BTW: is there any fundamental reason why MD has to work on whole partitions,
rather than being able to take a range of blocks within a partition ?
Combined with resize2fs, this would make a "really useful" facility to resize
filesystems at a finer resolution that I can currently manage.
