Hi all,

quick question: what's the use case for metadata 1.2?

I read that the 4K offset is intended to leave space
for the MBR and bootloader, I assume.
The subtext here seems to be a partionless configuration
with RAID, but I'm not aware of any bootloader which
can boot from RAID and fit into 4K.

Clarifications?

Thanks a lot in advance,

bye,
