README -- MD support for quik
-----------------------------
This version of quik includes linux-style /dev/md support, with the
following limitations :
* It supports n-way mirrors (RAID1 arrays) only, and it is unlikely
that support for other RAID levels will be added, unless we can
find a reliable way to get the conffile partition number on
a striped filesystem.
* Further, the bootable metadevice (typically /) *must* be assembled
from partitions having the same partition number (e.g. /dev/hda2 and
/dev/hdc2, *not* /dev/hda2 and /dev/hdc3). This is necessary because
we write the bootblock to the metadevice, not the underlying
partitions. Again, it is unlikely that this will change.
* The conffile *must* reside on the bootable partition/metadevice.
This means that a separate /boot partition will *not* work, unless
the configuration file is in /boot.
* This version does not recognize spare devices, and will try
to write a boot block on them -- if you have any spare drives in
your array, remove them before running quik. You can always re-add
them later
This will be fixed in a future version.
* LVM volumes are not supported, but will be if at all possible.
