Subject: [PATCH md 002 of 2] Remove inappropriate limits in md/bitmap configuration.
Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2005 14:17:10 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1051205031710.21052@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20051205141310.20937.patches@notabene
The kernel should not be imposing these policy limits:
The time between bitmap updates should certainly be allowed
to be more than 15 seconds, and if someone wants a bitmap chunk size
in excess of 4MB, the kernel isn't the place to stop them.
