[PATCH] Support RAID on virtio devices, and others


From: Colin Watson
Subject: [PATCH] Support RAID on virtio devices, and others
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:36:18 +0100
User-agent: Mutt/1.5.18 (2008-05-17)

GRUB only supports RAID on a relatively small number of device types, as
implemented by grub_util_getdiskname. I received a bug report noting
that this doesn't work for RAID arrays with virtio block devices (often
used in kvm) as components. This is difficult to support using the
approach taken by grub_util_getdiskname, as virtio devices use dynamic
major numbers.

find_root_device in util/getroot.c seemed to be exactly what I wanted:
it just trawls /dev for the appropriate major and minor numbers. This
code is not performance-critical, so that should be fine. I made the
function naming more consistent, added support for a default directory
in its interface (this may have problems on Cygwin; does anyone care
about RAID on Cygwin? If so, perhaps they can propose improvements), and
changed the RAID code to use it.

Bazaar users can merge this from:
