From a6ff7e089c7fca813c956ccbed824087e89a3a49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Brassow Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 09:14:34 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md: separate meta and data devs Allow the metadata to be on a separate device from the data. This doesn't mean the data and metadata will by on separate physical devices - it simply gives device-mapper and userspace tools more flexibility.
