  • Type: Bug Fix

  • Impact: Normal

  • Reference to related issue (URL):
    https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2616

  • How was this pull request tested?
    Not at all tested by me.

  • Brief description of the changes in this pull request:

In layout/save/GNU/Linux/210_raid_layout.sh
treat the RAID layout value '-unknown-' same as an empty value
to avoid that layout/prepare/GNU/Linux/120_include_raid_code.sh
will create a 'mdadm' command in diskrestore.sh like
"mdadm ... --layout=-unknown- ..."
which would fail during "rear recover" with something like
"mdadm: layout -unknown- not understood for raid0"
