I seriously doubt that it indeed will detect drives. The're not partitions, the're drives. Don't think the current RAID code handles entire drives.

Does it autodetect an entire drive? The autodetect logic for partitions looks at the 'partition type' byte, which of course doesn't exist for a whole drive. Just a thought .. I don't run RAID here.

Re: RAID superblock
[Wakko Warner] While this subject is fresh, what would be wrong with using the entire drive as opposed to creating a partition and adding the partition to the raid? Does it autodetect an entire drive? The autodetect logic for partitions looks at the 'partition type' byte, which of course doesn't exist for a whole drive. Just a thought .. I don't run RAID here.

Re: RAID superblock
Hi, After I create a RAID setup on the drives,The superblock will be generated at the end of the drives. If I move these drives to other linux system, will this system recognise the RAID setup without reconfiguring the Linux ? If the CHS / LBA settings are the same, and the kernel is the same : Yes. While this subject is fresh, what would be wrong with using the entire drive as opposed to creating a partition and adding the partition to the raid? -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
