linux raid wiki - kernel autoassembly

linux raid wiki - kernel autoassembly

[Wols Lists]

When was this deleted from the kernel? Somebody on the suse list thinks
it is still there, and I can't find any references to the kernel where
it was deleted. I'd like to put a bit more info on the wiki.

I've looked at md.c, and found functions autorun_array and
autorun_devices, but I'm guessing these are looking for an array that's
already been assembled by udev/mdadm.

Cheers,
Wol

It wasn't.  It is still there (as you found).
It only supports 0.90 metadata though, so by encouraging the use of 1.x,
we make kernel-autoassembly unavailable without actually removing any
code.
