Hi,
due to confusion of some users, I detected an error in the mdadd man page and in
Documentation/md.txt.
As I wrote Documentation/md.txt, I just copied the factor part from the mdadd
page ... but that was wrong.
So here comes the right version attached.
Marc, could you please update your man page?
Gadi, could you please add this to your patch collection for Linus?

--You can boot (if you selected boot support in the configuration) with your md device with the following kernel command line:
md=<md device no.>,<raid level>,<chunk size factor>,<fault level>,dev0,dev1,...,devn
md device no.: the number of the md device ... 0 means md0, 1 md1, 2 md2, 3 md3, 4 md4
raid level: -1 linear mode 0 striped mode other modes are currently unsupported.
chunk size factor n (raid-0 and raid-1 only): Set the chunk size as (2^n) * PAGE_SIZE. Look at this table for intel (for alpha divide chunksize by 4): chunks | factor --------------- 1024k | 8 512k | 7 256k | 6 128k | 5 64k | 4 32k | 3 16k | 2 8k | 1 4k | 0 fault level m (raid-1 only): Set the maximum fault number as m. Currently unsupported due to lack of boot support for raid1. dev0-devn: e.g. /dev/hda1,/dev/hdc1,/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1 my loadlin line looks like this:
e:\loadlin\loadlin e:\zimage root=/dev/md0 md=0,0,4,0,/dev/hdb2,/dev/hdc3 ro Harald Hoyer <HarryH@Royal.Net>
