Thanks. :-) > I think the rest is technical documentation. Could you summerize how it works > in brief? You can use the wiki or whatever else as you wish. http://grub.enbug.org/LVMandRAID I've linked it from the FrontPage. Feel free to ask question or to modify the page to add things if I forgot anything. > BTW, are you planning to write an article about your work (e.g. osnews.com, > free software magazine, etc.)? Not really, I'm afraid there isn't really that much exciting to tell. Maybe I will write down my knowledge about the RAID and LVM disk structures, because currently the only documentation is the source code.
