Please read. Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, Please note that the current LDM driver in the kernel only supports "basic volumes/partitions". None of the RAID (i.e. spanning, mirroring, striping) features are supported and supporting them is AFAIC not possible without a major programming effort at the present time which would involve changing some kernel core code, and such things are better left for 2.5.x...
