Yes, I am running a evms/mdadm based raid 5 on 8 disks on two Promise
controllers. Is the md/dm under drivers in the list below related? 

The: 
 drivers/md/dm-snap.c                         |    6 
 drivers/md/dm.c                              |    5 

Part? :)

Yes, the first of two identical controllers.

Yes I know, but that is a lengthy process, and I run some
stable/unstable web services.
