You could create autodiscover code that just creates a wedge spanning the whole disk. It would be of least priority, so it is only used when no other disk label is recognized. Fine if you just want to access a raw disk. But it a) wouldn't have a name and b) wouldn't have a type. But why create a wedge when it is as useful as the RAW_PART of the parent device? With raidframe-magic-code you could put such information into the raid label and somehow pass that to the wedge. But it is much simpler to just use a GPT on the raid device. No magic needed. -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
