[stuff about documentation distributed with earlier rpms deleted] Well, the newer raidtools packages (starting with 19990309 I believe), include an updated Software-RAID howto document as well as a RAID5.HOWTO and other short documents that are up to date. I have created an rpm for raidtools-0.90-19990309 that contains these docs and puts them in /usr/doc/raidtools... If you would like it, let me know. It is by no means official but it Works For Me. It is based on a .spec file from an older rpm anyway. > I don't know what else to do, because I have read some posts about patching kernels >2.0.x or 2.2.3 > but nothing about 2.2.2 If you are running 2.2.2, the best thing to do would be to upgrade to 2.2.3 and then apply the 0309 raid patches.
