Package: dmraid Severity: wishlist Version: 1.0.0.rc14-1 User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch hardy ubuntu
Attached is a patch to fix some issues with metadata handling for Promise Software RAID. This patch is currently in the Ubuntu dmraid package, and therefore the attached patch is in dpatch format. It would be nice if this patch was in the Debian package, thereby reducing the delta between Ubuntu and Debian. Originally taken from Mandriva's dmraid package. Luke
