Re: [PATCH] fix for partmap detection on RAID/LVM

User-agent: Mutt/1.5.13 (2006-08-11)

New patch to fix partmap detection in LVM/RAID.  Changes in comparison to
previous patch:

  - Add LVM detection.
  - Rename the structures/functions to make them more descriptive.
  - Fix a minor memleak.

This is only known to work on proof-of-concept test systems.  *Please* anyone
who was affected on real, production systems, test it (against latest CVS) and
send feedback.  The problem was that:

  grub-probe -t partmap /some_path

is unable to detect the partition map when /some_path was part of some LVM or
RAID abstraction.

Note for those of you using Debian packages: for testing this on CVS, you don't
need to install it, just build and run ./grub-probe in-tree.

Thanks
