I will try to contact Phillip Susi directly. I already had some contact wit= h him in the past. Lets see if we can make this tool fully functional. For my own system I implemented dm-raid.ko support into dmraid and the kpar= tx work-around. But I got some minor errors with gdisk when adding partitio= ns to the raid. And I also find it dangerous that such an essential tool is= dependent on another tool.

He built a set of patches a long while ago that I don't think got included in the stable dmraid. He knows the ins and outs of dmraid and has spends a lot of time bug fixing during Ubuntu release cycles. =20 I think the main reason that this project has died is because it is a very niche market. It's usually only used by the people who run a dual boot with Windows as Mdadm is far superior for pure Linux installs. =20 Also GPT can already be used on top of dmraid=2C as far as I know you use dmraid to initialise the block devs and kpartx to deal with partitions. =20 Good luck and best regards=2C Danny = --_44910a21-7909-4bdf-9b13-a1e0cd50e482_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html> <head> <style><!-- .hmmessage P { margin:0px=3B padding:0px } body.hmmessage { font-size: 10pt=3B font-family:Tahoma } --></style></head> <body class=3D'hmmessage'><div dir=3D'ltr'> Hi Danny=2C<br><br>Thanks for the info.<br><br>I will try to contact Philli= p Susi directly.
