And don't forget, the 0.90 patches are available for 2.2 - so 2.2 can do 0.90 Software RAID just fine. Besides, most people using Software RAID have been using 0.90 for at least two years - so I doubt this would have been much of a problem if the 0.90 patches weren't available for 2.2, which they are. -- ................................................................ : jakob@unthought.net : And I see the elder races, : :.........................: putrid forms of man : : Jakob Østergaard : See him rise and claim the earth, : : OZ9ABN : his downfall is at hand. : :.........................:............{Konkhra}...............: - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
