Subject: [PATCH 001 of 6] md: Fix duplicity of levels in md.txt
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 12:52:52 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1060929025252.15187@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20060929125047.14064.patches@notabene


md.txt has two sections describing the 'level'
sysfs attribute, and some of the text is out-of-date.
So make just one section, and make it right.
