Good! I was working on a mandriva professional 2006 system 2.6.12 kernel, and I hacked the mkinitrd to have it generate mdadm.conf etc - it did not at all look at this. I can send you my patches, but they are in no way clean. There was no mention of raid10 in the code either. I thied to contact Erik Troan - the main author of mkinitrd (and lots o= f other stuff:-) - but got a bouncing message for his redhat address. And I was about to report this om qa.mandriva.com - but it seems that I already made contact! best regards keld -- 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
