Hello,
Here is a patch to mkinitrd that enables dmraid
initialization during init.
I developed it to enable proper initialization of LVM
partitions hosted on dmraid based software RAID.
dmraid initrd initialization can be optionally turned
off by passing --omit-dmraid command line key to
mkinitrd.
My changes are tested on CentOS 4.1 2.6.9-11.EL
kernel.
Hopefully this may be useful to people with similar
software/hardware configurations.
Can someone suggest/clarify if there is anything else
I could/should do to make this patch helpful to as
many people as possible and ideally make it part of
CentOS distribution?
Thank you very much,
Hovhannes Tumanyan
