I wanted a small and simple fix for this problem which could go into Lenny. I think more a mix of grub_dprint for real GRUB and showing an error in grub-probe IF a device which GRUB needs to access contains an unsupported RAID level or unsupported version of superblock. By the way that `unsupported version' is pretty useless to check for because each version (0.90, 1.0, 1.1 , 1.2) stores it at different position. Maybe 0.90 and one 1.x has the same one but then still 2 which hasn't. With Bean's raid_6.diff (i.e. the one before he just sent now) this `unknown RAID level 6' message is shown even more then with mine. I think 15-20 times maybe even more on a grub-install /dev/sda1 I haven't tried it on real GRUB. As Robert already (i think more indirectly) said we shouldn't fix things on different codebases. So either we just wait for Bean to commit his changes and address the problems there or we try to address this problem just with the current one and Bean has to adjust his patch then. Maybe it's better to have that bug report not fixed in lenny, but probable that's more a discussion with just Robert. I haven't tried yet but Bean said he implemented Raid 6 now so the whole problem isn't that important then anymore. But this won't be for sure in lenny :(
