Kernel RAID support

Kernel RAID support

[Richard Scobie]

I am building  2.6.18rc5-mm1 and I cannot find the entry under "make 
config", to enable the various RAID options.

Perhaps there is something I have said "N" to and it is hidden.

Can someone please assist - this is a bit embarrassing...

Regards,

Richard

Under "Device Drivers", switch on "Multi-device support".

Thanks. I must be going nuts, as it does not appear as an option. Below 
is the list under "Device Drivers" if I do a "make menuconfig":

For 2.6.18-rc5-mm1, just edit drivers/md/Kconfig and change the 'if
CONFIG_BLOCK' to 'if BLOCK' and you'll be all set.  You can then run
'make oldconfig' and you should be all set.

It's a simple change, and easier than hunting down and applying a
patch at this point.  :]
