Hi,

I'm planning to use bitmaps on some of our RAID1 arrays.

I'm wondering how bitmaps are handeled by older kernels.

Eg: I create a raid array with a bitmap under a 2.6.15 kernel.

I now want to boot under 2.6.12, or even 2.4


Hos is it handeled?
Will it work even if this is my / partition?

Thanks

Laurent
