Latest LVM/RAID patch in CVS

Latest LVM/RAID patch in CVS

[Guntsche Michael]

Hi,

Looking at the latest change in CVS

2008-06-08  Robert Millan  <rmh@aybabtu.com>

   * util/i386/pc/grub-setup.c (main): If install drive is an LVM,
   don't append the RAID prefix afterwards.
   Reported by Clint Adams.


I noticed that this might cause problems with LVM on RAID setups.
If you have LVM on a RAID "setup" needs to be called for every disk  
that is part of the RAID.
Now in this case, setup is only called once and not for every disk. I  
haven't looked if setup takes care of this situation itself but I  
doubt that.
If you look in the archives you find emails dating back to April that  
already took care of this problem. I wonder what happened to these  
changes.

Right now I am running a simple Boot on RAID setup so I do not have a  
problem here.

Kind regards,
Michael

Thanks, I'll take this into account.
