EVMS 2.5.1 (http://evms.sf.net) has provided support for creation of MD arrays using version-1 superblock. Some of EVMS users actually tried to use this new functionality. You probably remember I posted a problem and a patch to fix version-1 superblock update code. We will continue to test and will report any problems. -- Regards, Mike T. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
