2.6.15-rc5 mm3 V mm5

[Matt Darcy <kernel-lists@projecthugo.co.uk>]

hi all,

is there anything that anyone would consider "key" to the stability of 
the sata_mv or the libata interaction that has been changed between mm1 
and mm3

I had terrible usablility and stability using 2.6.15-mm1 with the 
sata_mv driver using raid/lvm2, yet in 2.6.15-rc5-mm3 the box has been 
up 2 days with a raid 5 array in lvm2 with multiple lvm's hanging off 
it. Performance seems good and read/writes seem to be fine, no 
corruption yet.

I'm looking through the patches now, and although there does appear to 
be libata changes, I can't see anything directly related to the sata_mv 
driver, or to anything between libata/sata_mv that would effect 
usability this much.

thanks,

Matt.
