In the original docs or howtos, mention is made of being able to partition
your /dev/sdx device first, or just using it as a raw device.. which is
what I've done. Now that detection based on the partition type is
available though, its a little unfortunate for those of us with raw
devices.
Isnt there room in the raid header for an additional flag to mark the
'partition' type? I realize this might require a 'mkraid --upgrade' to be
run, but at least the 'partitions' could then be detected and then I could
root automount more cleanly for example..
Basically I'm suggesting an additional raid signature on each of
the raid devices themselves.. or simply the detection of them.
