[PATCH] grub-1.98: support for partitionable array v1.2

2010-07-20 Thread Gaëtan Schmidt
I modify grub2 to understand mdadm 1.2 partition array without the need to map either the metadevice or the partitions in the device.map file. Just the physical devices are required. As the meta devices are added, they will be recognized automatically. Only raid 1 is supported for the moment bu
