So,
Is it time to start thinking about deprecating the old 0.9, 1.0 and
1.1 formats to just standardize on the 1.2 format? What are the
issues surrounding this?
It's certainly easy enough to change mdadm to default to the 1.2
format and to require a --force switch to allow use of the older
formats.
I keep seeing that we support these old formats, and it's never been
clear to me why we have four different ones available? Why can't we
start defining the canonical format for Linux RAID metadata?
Thanks,
John

Are you sure? I find that GRUB is much easier to use and setup than
LILO these days. But hey, just dropping down to support 00.09.03 and
1.2 formats would be fine too. Let's just lessen the confusion if at
all possible.

I am sure, I submitted a bug report to the LILO developer, he
acknowledged the bug but I don't know if it was fixed.
I have not tried GRUB with a RAID1 setup yet.
Works fine.
