I just managed to install raidtools v0.90 & the raid0145 1005-C patch
for 2.0.35 without any problems.  Now I'm trying to re-create an array
(raid 5) as I aquired more disks.

I do a raidstop /dev/md0 - no problem
I change the /etc/raidtab to list all the disks - no problem.

Now I do a mkraid --force  the system goes through an analyzes the
superblock, binds the disks until it hits a disk that was in the
original array.  It then tells me that the disk /dev/sd[?]1 is
already used in a RAID array and then mkraid aborts.

Does someone have a patch that fixes this?  The --force option shouldn't
CARE if the device is already used or not.  It should blow away whatever's
there and update.  

Anyone have any suggestions/fixes?  I don't want to have to dd all
the disks (it'll take forever, for 12 4gig drives).

Steve
