Based on comment #17, I think we are on same page. :-) Attached is an initial patch to use native libparted /dev/mapper dmraid support. This patch was generated using:
$ git diff > enable-libparted-dmraid.patch During the development process I discovered that an automatic configure option that checked only the libparted version would not work. The reason for this is that the naming standard used by the installed version of dmraid might not match with the naming standard used by the installed version of libparted. Hence I chose to implement a manual configuration flag: --enable-libparted-dmraid. My preference is to test in a virtual machine, but I do not know how to do this when testing dmraid devices. Do you know how to set up dmraid devices in a virtual machine? This patch requires much more testing. Are you able to test this with Natty? You will need to configure with the "--enable-libparted-dmraid" flag to test with Natty. If this patch works then you do not need to worry about the previous patch and bug report that I mentioned. ** Patch added: "Enable native libparted dmraid support patch - lightly tested" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/719129/+attachment/1862527/+files/enable-libparted-dmraid.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/719129 Title: [Natty] Gparted duplicates dmraid partition devices -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
