As far as I know nobody has mucked around with the code for autodetect stuff on non-DOS disklabels. Neil Brown has been advocating that people not use the partition types, and let the userspace tools set things up. You can find his arguments in the archives for this list (info linux-raid to majordomo@vger.kernel.org should get you some links to the archives). Greg -- Portland, Oregon, USA.
