Listmates,

After going through the testing process with dmraid-1.0.0.rc15 where the biggest change for users was the addition of the 'p' in the /dev/mapper/raidname_device_partx naming convention, the last update warns that you must now *remove* the 'p' from fstab, etc..

What's up? Will we have to add the 'p' again next week?

Now I'm completely confused. The updates 4 days ago (now in /var/log/pacman.log) said:

I now have dmraid 1.0.0.rc15-8 installed. Checking my arrays in device mapper I see:

14:23 archangel:~> ls -1 /dev/mapper control nvidia_ecaejfdi nvidia_ecaejfdip10 nvidia_ecaejfdip5 nvidia_ecaejfdip6 nvidia_ecaejfdip7 nvidia_ecaejfdip8 nvidia_ecaejfdip9 nvidia_fdaacfde nvidia_fdaacfdep5 nvidia_fdaacfdep6 nvidia_fdaacfdep7 nvidia_fdaacfdep8 ---------------^-

The 'p's are all still there? So what is the warning telling me? Why do I get this "downgrade" warning "upgrading" dmraid (1.0.0.rc15-7 -> 1.0.0.rc15-8)?
