Bug#603354: grub-common: grub-probe/grub2 does not recognize DDF1 fakeraid as DMRAID array (trivial fix)

[Modestas Vainius]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-7
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hello,

it seems I have really bad luck with DMRAID/grub2 after upgrading machines to
Squeeze (thanks for fixing #594221, btw). This time I ran into an issue of
grub-probe failing to recognize my DMRAID array which uses DDF1 metadata
format. Fortunately, the fix is really trivial this time. The patch is
attached. Please ship it with Squeeze as nobody will be able to use grub2 with
DDF1 arrays otherwise which would be a shame.

P.S. I have also checked the list in grub_util_is_dmraid() against dmraid
1.0.0.rc16 sources. It seems that once you add DDF1 support, the list will be
complete.
