I have pulled the above as a zip, and will see if it will build on arm64 
as I've collected about 20T of SSD's managed by a bananapi/m5, intending 
to use them as an lvm to backup my own home net. Currently at a total of 
8 machines, half of which are arm64's. However I have other irons in the 
fire so it may take more time than I have guestimated.
