The init() function looks OK. Detail: you're doing a fork/exec of "evms_query info ..." just to find a major/minor number. Using Base::devno() is cheaper: just a stat() system call. The properties look OK to find devices, but don't yet provide enough information to decide whether to load raid0/raid5. The crude fix is to just load them always ... Marco, opinions? Here's a twist: what if there are two devices on evms that yaird accesses? So far we've been able to do a depth-first walk over devices needed, but if evms_activate does not take an argument indicating which device we're trying to activate, we'll need to find an alternative approach.
