libldm is a tool and library for
|
|
managing Microsoft Windows Dynamic Disks.
|
|
which use Microsoft's LDM metadata. It can inspect them
|
|
and also create and remove device-mapper block devices
|
|
which can be mounted.
|
|
|
|
Although a filesystem can be mounted read-write
|
|
and its contents modified, ldmtool is not able to
|
|
modify the LDM metadata itself. That is, it cannot
|
|
create, remove or edit dynamic disks.
|
|
|
|
It is also not able to mount RAID5 volumes which
|
|
have a partition missing, although it can mount mirrored
|
|
volumes with a partition missing. However,
|
|
mounting a volume with a missing partition is not recommended,
|
|
as ldmtool does not update the LDM metadata in any way.
|
|
This means Windows will have no way to determine that the partitions
|
|
are not synchronised when it subsequently mounted,
|
|
which may result in corruption.
