Subject: RAID modules and CONFIG_AUTODETECT_RAID
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 11:35:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E13veNB-0000Se-00@wisbech.cl.cam.ac.uk> (raw)
In 2.2.x we were able to build a kernel with RAID modules and have it
autodetect RAID partitions at boot time - so we could use raid root partitions.
In 2.40 the configuration option CONFIG_AUTODETECT_RAID is explicitly disabled
unless at least one RAID module is built into the kernel. I presume there is
a good reason for this and that it's not just a mistake.
Are there any plans to re-enable this feature? It would be nice to be able to
have a single kernel for all our machines without having to have RAID in the
kernel when it isn't needed.
