Package: dmraid Severity: important This package is all about supporting ****SOFTWARE**** S?ATARAID controlers. You know, winraid crap. The current package description is completely incorrect.
I strongly suggest that the package description be changed to the one suggested upstream (FROM http://people.redhat.com/heinzm/sw/dmraid/readme). Here is a slightly edited version of it: Description: Device-Mapper Software RAID support tool dmraid discovers, activates, deactivates and displays properties of software RAID sets (eg, ATARAID) and contained DOS partitions. . dmraid uses the Linux device-mapper to create devices with respective mappings for the ATARAID sets discovered. . The following ATARAID mappings are supported: Highpoint HPT37X and HPT45X Intel Software RAID LSI Logic MegaRAID NVidia NForce RAID Promise FastTrack Silicon Image Medley VIA Software RAID . Please read the documentation in /usr/share/doc/dmraid BEFORE attempting any use of this software. Improper use can cause data loss! Please fix the package description. The tool does NOT manage any hardware controller. Chipsets have nothing to do with it. Also, none of the controllers listed are hardware raid controllers at all. They are just regular ATA/SATA controllers plus a lot marketing spin. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.4-debian1+libata+bluesmoke+imq+lm85 Locale: LANG=pt_BR.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
