When Natty is released as stable, we will use it as the OS of alternative Clonezilla live. Then you will have mdadm v3 in Clonezilla live. So far the RAID support in Clonezilla is not well, and hope we can support it in the near future. BTW, if you are interested in testing the Natty-based Clonezilla live, please let me know. We can create one recently. > > Some relevant info I found on the web: > http://www.expert.tc/topic.php?id=159833 > -> After running > mdadm --assemble --scan > which finds and assembles the container, running > mdadm -I /dev/md/imsm0 > assembles the arrays inside the container. > > http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/slackware-13-1-64-bit-with-intel-matrix-storage-manager-807930/ > > -> a guy struggling to get his RAID working on Slackware, which didn't > include mdadm v3 yet.
