I want (wanted ?) to have that problem _for_ lenny fixed. The problem (in current SVN without Bean's RAID rewrite, this won't be in lenny anway) is: As soon as real GRUB _sees_ one disk wich has a mdraid raid level 6 (or e.g. 10, it's not supported either) super block then it goes to rescue mode. First patch from me: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Problem: The messages get totally lost for the average user, i.e. even grub-probe --vv says nothing, that RAID 6 isn't supported. Robert suggested ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to handle it with grub_print_error () and grub_errno = GRUB_ERR_NONE in the raid.mod itself. Problem: With that way + my fprintf stderr change, it's displayed in real GRUB once for every disk. In grub-install /dev/sda1, where that isn't on RAID at all it's shown 6 times, I _think_ once for every grub-probe call. Bean's raid_6.diff ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and my fprintf change Problem: The message on grub-install is now shown much more then just 6 times as with mine, I think more then 20 times. I haven't tried Bean's lastest patch with an unsupported RAID level like 10 now that he has RAID 6 implemented. But the problem is still there. I'd like to have that unknown RAID level message shown only once per array not for every disk. The `grub_print_error fprintf (stderr ..)' is probable the right first step, but it isn't a 100% perfect fix for this. Seems like I just have to try lastest patch from Bean, if he changed something and then maybe complain at his topic about this. For lenny Robert and me need a simple small patch to fix this. Maybe it's just better to have it for lenny unfixed. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
