Fix added to Fedora devel cvs.
(In reply to comment #1) > Fix added to Fedora devel cvs. Hello Heinz, Do I have to do something that the fix is also added to rhel-4/5/6 and fedora 10/11 ? Winfrid
Winfrid, once I can build into rawhide (I'm waiting for colleagues to deploy the device-mapper-event package) and it gets some coverage, I'll role it into the other distros.
Hello Heinz, I just tested with dmraid-1.0.0.rc16-1.fc12.x86_64 and device-mapper-1.02.37-2.fc12.x86_64 and the contents of dmraid.pdc/sda.dat looks now good - I am just wondering if offset=0 is correct ? PS: I suppose that the output of dmraid -rD for ddf1 should be checked.
