[PATCH 000 of 3] md: Introduction

From: NeilBrown
Date: Thu Feb 02 2006 - 01:00:26 EST



Three patches for 2.6.lastest. All should go in 2.6.16.
One won't apply against -rc1-git5 as it fixes a bug in a patch
in -mm that hasn't quite got to -linus yes.

They are mostly little fixes. I've been doing some more testing,
particularly creating a raid1 over 2 6TB arrays. This requires
version-1 superblocks, so they have had a bit more testing too.

(No, I didn't try to resync the 6TB raid1. I created it
--assume-clean and gave it a write-intent bitmap so a full resync
would never be needed. If one side died, a recovery would take
ages!!!! but for me it was only an experiment, not a serious configuration).
(You will need mdadm-2.3 if you too want a 6TB raid1).


[PATCH 001 of 3] md: Handle overflow of mdu_array_info_t->size better.
[PATCH 002 of 3] md: Assorted little md fixes:
[PATCH 003 of 3] md: Make sure rdev->size gets set for version-1 superblocks.
