Tell me, do you know how RAID works on pmac hardware ? I just added an LVM
flag for amiga partition tables, so i will be able to try out simple LVM,
altough i am not sure only libparted support is enough, or if we need to
investigate the lvmtools also.
I suppose that pmac hardware used a RAID name to the partition as type, so i
think it should also be possible to use an LVM including partition name string
the same way, this would need some fixing in partman.
I also wonder about LVM on RAID, since my understanding is that the RAID array
creates a RAID partition, and not a partition table on top of it, but then
maybe i am wrong with that.
