Sounds complicated. Why will partitioning not work the way I would
Because:
- parted can't handle disks with "unknown" (not hardcoded into parted)
major numbers, so you'd have to use *fdisk
- *fdisk will likely assume wrong stuff about your geometry, wrecking
windows
- after partitioning, the BLKRRPART ioctl will fail, you have to run
"dmraid -an; dmraid -ay" to see anything
- dmraid has its own partition table parsing code, it may fail in
unexpected ways
- probably a ton of other problems I forgot
- ah yes, of course resize will NOT work.
expect? I would have thought the array would just look like any other
No, because of the missing BLKRRPART and HD_GETGEO support.
disk as far as fdisk was concerned. Also, how feasible is dual booting
with Windows XP on the fake RAID?
If you actually manage to boot into linux, dual booting should be very
easy (compared to the pains before).
/me wanders off to write some lengthy paper for university - at least
it's not as painful as fakeRAID support.
