From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: NeilBrown Subject: [PATCH 000 of 9] md: Assorted patches for the 2.5.26 merge window Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:34:38 +1000 Message-ID: <20080429133104.20146.patches@notabene> Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Andrew Morton Cc: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Bernd Schubert , Dan Williams , stable@kernel.org List-Id: linux-raid.ids Following 9 patches for md are suitable for 2.5.26. Yes, I really should have submitted them to -mm earlier, but I've been on leave, sorry. First patch is a bug fix that should go in 2.6.25.stable. It has been copied to stable@kernel.org. Others are mostly related to "external" metadata support. i.e. a userspace program does all the management of metadata, and needs to communicate with the kernel to do its job properly.
