[RFC] GRUB: add support for RAID1C3 and RAID1C4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The enclosed patch adds support for RAID1C3 and RAID1C4 to grub.
I know that David already told that he want to write one; however
recently I looked to the grub source and so I make a patch.

I tested the patch as following:
- computing the checksum of a file bigger than 64KB in a RAID1C3 
  filesystem (so the file is in a data bG)
- computing the checksum of a file smaller than 64KB in a RAID1C3
  filesystem (so the file is in the metadata BG)
- computing the checksum of a file bigger than 64KB in a RAID1C4 
  filesystem (so the file is in a data bG)
- computing the checksum of a file smaller than 64KB in a RAID1C4
  filesystem (so the file is in the metadata BG)
- perform the tests abowe removing some disks in order to test all the
  possible missing disks combination

Of course the test is considered passed if the checksum matches with
its correct value.

Comments are welcome.
