I could understand that they may want to provide it for legacy installations who want to slowly transition though, but they've not mentioned it yet; personally I'd think it would be kind of pointless ;-) Sincerely, Lars Marowsky-Br=E9e --=20 High Availability & Clustering SUSE Labs, Research and Development SUSE LINUX AG - A Novell company - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
