grub2 md-linear unsupported?

grub2 md-linear unsupported?

[Leo Baltus]

Hi,

I just tested with grub2-1.99-13 (fedora16) on an md-device with raid-
level 'linear'. 

On grub2-install is says:

error: unsupported RAID level: -1.
/sbin/grub2-probe: error: no such disk.
Auto-detection of a filesystem of /dev/md0 failed.

Is this really unsupported?

Exactly which full command is it that fails?

What do you have in /boot/grub2/device.map?

Im am working from a busybox shell, prepare my disk, mount on /mnt,
polulate it with rsync, bind mount dev on it and do

	chroot /mnt grub2-install /dev/sda

Hi,

I believe it only support raid level 0/1/4/5/6/10. It's easy to add
linear support, but i guess grub2 is currently in frozen state so you
might need to wait a bit.

It depends on the kind of the problem. If it's just small probe issue
(like I suppose given that mdraid1x_linux.c has code to alias -1 to 0)
then it can be fixed before 2.00. If it's something more serious it will
have to wait.

I've confused -4 and -1. Supporting linear would need some non-trivial
changes to grub_diskfilter_make_raid even though diskfilter supports
such a config. So it's post-2.00 stuff. Meanwhile I recommend using LVM.
