Re: [PATCH md 000 of 8] Introduction

["George Iosif" <giosif@ase.ro>]

Hello Neil,

If JimL doesn't want/have the time/etc. to do the patch testing I'd be
willing to do that.
Also, if there is something else I could contribute to, I'll be happy to
do it, given I have time for it (I'm employed so I'll try to do it in my
spare time).

Yours,

George Iosif

I could certainly be more precise about which kernel they are created
against (it is usually the latest 2.6-mm) but it would be a lot of
work to figure out how far back you can safely go and still have the
patch usefully apply, and I'm not sure that it is really worth it, is
it?

If you want to help test raid patch (and I do appreciate the help), it
is really best if you use the most recent kernel, otherwise there
could be unexpected interactions which invalidate the test.

Hope that's ok,

Thanks,
NeilBrown
