Hi Adam, I don't quite know what freeze_reshape does - from the name it sounds like an option you want to set at runtime rather than when a raid is assembled initially? Are you proposing that we shouldn't allow reshape of an IMSM raid that is used as the root device? I am merely a bit confused here, so I am hoping you could clarify a bit. Thanks, Jes
