It uses HAL and PolicyKit so we'll also get out of that "run X11 apps as root" trap plus once we teach HAL about RAID / LVM we can add options to g-v-m such as
[ ] Assemble RAID arrays when hotplugged [ ] Set up Logical Volumes when hotplugged
How are you handling partial volumes?
This code is not written yet (patches welcome!) but I suspect you will be able to start partly-assembled stuff from g-d-u after clicking a warning dialog or two.
No, I mean you'll get disparate events:
- hey, I added hda1! - Looks like it might be part of VG <foo>... - hey, I added hdb1! - Looks like it might be part of VG <foo>... <kernel takes a nap, five seconds later> - hey, I added hdc1! - Looks like it might be part of VG <foo>...
When do you decide to assemble?
