I'm not a developer by any stretch of the word so take what I say with a grain of salt. I think it's more just a case of dm using md's RAID algorithms, which IMHO are better tested, to support fakeraid controllers like Intel's Matrix RAID. Besides, we're all one big happy linux family so why not borrow your brother's socks? :-) -- Drew -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
