-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Since balancing takes a long time I liked the idea of having some progress counter and the ability to run this long lasting task in background with another option to cancel it if necessary. So I wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately, all the patches did not apply on top of kernel version 2.6.38. Is there a newer version of this patch or died this idea in the meantime? Of course, I will test any patches.
