There are issues with the raid superblock but assuming they can be solved, I want partitioning to work easily. Can LVM work happily with 'legacy' partitioning information?
I'd really suggest to run DM (either LVM2 or EVMS2) on top of md
instead. It's much more flexible; I don't see any benefit in 'old style'
partition information, which has all sorts of problems - ie,
non-transactional updates (_why_ were you running raid again? ;), static
as they can't be modified during runtime etc.
