growlight

Growlight facilitates management of all storage devices known to the Linux kernel, from hardware RAIDs to hybrid media to ramdisks to ZFS (indeed, Growlight was initially written to simplify ZFS on Linux). It understands the majority of partition and filesystem types, as well as both software and hardware RAID, LVM, and encrypted disks.

BIOS boot preparation (BIOS bootloader, /etc/fstab)
MD / zpool aggregate scan + import
