stripes beyond MAXPHYS ? :) I think ccd is important as an example for drivers from the dark ages. >Perhaps it's possible to do something like this using RAIDframe and LVM >in combination, but we can't ship full LVM support because many of the >utilities are GPL3, right? The utilities are GPL2 and we ship all of it (but an older version). We don't provide "full LVM" because we haven't implemented all of it in the kernel. -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
