JayFI will be there, I am giving a talk.'01:51
FreemanBoss[m]JayF: wow, great. I do watch your GR-OSS sessions on YouTube too.04:14
dtantsurguilhermesp: so at least my assumption was right: the outcome contains a /dev/md/ file. I wonder if it's an actual holder device or something else..12:24
TheJuliadtantsur: the device, should be something else afaik, but it looks like it, which is why I was thinking we need to short circuit the recognition14:13
dtantsurTheJulia: I suspect we're too loose with our usage of regular expressions there :)14:26
dtantsurI wonder if we could use something like lsblk or lshw instead14:27
TheJuliaI’m not sure, these hardware assisted software raids are weird :)14:35
TheJuliahttps://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/841442/linux-intel-vroc-userguide-333915.pdf <-- makes me think the answer is to look at the mdstat data since it is structurally diferent and  that also sort of explains the ismn0 bit15:43
TheJuliasorry, imsm, not ismn18:42
TheJuliaI think the thing to do is to look at mdstat, look at the entry in it, and see if it is using the external:imsm value which tags it as an external intel matrix storage manager. .. or mdadm --detail /dev/md/device and look to see if it references an imsm container19:45
