evms not dead yet..

Yes its broken.

However I don't think the problem is fundamentally difficult since evms 
is pure userspace.
Very likely the result of a small change in the device-mapper API.

I was getting ready to have a look it by git -bisect to find the change 
set reponsible.

Doing this stuff on a working machine is a PINA, so I'm powering up a 
proxmox server for testing.
Virtualbox might even be more convenient.

The idea is having modest working system on one virtual disk and then 
building a raid array with 2 more.

However i've discovered that i just do not have the time (and not much 
of the skill)  to do it.

We need a white knight...

Regards,

John
