Subject: [PULL REQUEST] a few more md patches....
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:36:13 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19197.10381.201071.987808@notabene.brown> (raw)


[I just realised that when I sent this to Linus a couple of hours ago
I forgot to cc to linux-raid - sorry]

I know it is getting late, but continued testing showed that an
unclean shutdown during a RAID level migration can leave the array
in a slightly inconsistent state.  If after that you get a device 
failure, md may not respond exactly the right way.  There is room for
data corruption in there.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
