As a workaround to the mdadm issue with the spare drive we were going
to have them activate DMRAID but that ends up with the information
below. Specifically something about dm-raid45 but we had to drop that
because it no longer compiles in the latest kernels and we couldn't
find an update that would. Any ideas? (still working on getting the
dump - the fact that tmpfs doesn't support sparse files makes having
the customer create the dump via a script we provide a bit more
involved):

Ubuntu kernels still somewhat maintain and have dm-raid-45 module.
Install linux-image-extra-virtual package which will pull in correct
versioned packaged with extra modules.
It is planned however to migrate off & drop dm-raid-45 module soon.
ps. latest version I can find is
3.8.0-22-generic/kernel/ubuntu/dm-raid4-5/dm-raid45.ko
Regards,
Dmitrijs.

As a follow up to this general subject, what will replace the dm-raid45
module after it is dropped?
I guess another way to ask that question is what functionality does the
dm-raid45 module support that is not currently supported by the dm-raid
module, which has aliases to dm-raid1, dm-raid4, dm-raid5, dmraid6, and
dm-raid10.
And is it already possible now (in recent kernels such as 3.11.x and
later) to use the dm-raid module in place of dm-raid45?

The current plan is as following:
* for ddf & intel matrix raid formats => migrate from dmraid to mdadm
(external metadata) (which supports raid levels 4 & 5 for those
formats and more)
* investigate whether dmraid can be modified to use stock dm-raid
modules, instead of the dmraid45 module
The first point should cover all but nvidia/dmraid, the second one
should resolve the situation completely.
Above plan was discussed at the public virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit
(video at):
http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1311/meeting/22028/core-1311-dmraid2mdadm/
The workitems to complete above are tracked on a blueprint at launchpad:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/core-1311-dmraid2mdadm
You can subscribe to the blueprint, if you wish, to get email updates
on the progress of this work to get notified when it's ready/available
for testing.
Regards,
Dmitrijs.
