This is a two part message. First, I need to check to see if I'm on the
list..
Second, where can I get patches for the alpha raid tools that RedHat chose
to put in their version of the kernel that will work under 2.2.9? The
latest official alpha patches appear to be for 2.2.6. Most of the patches
appear to be successful, with a large percentage having offsets, some with
fuzz, and one failing (fs.h at that!).
Without checking each patch and trying to figure out what I can do with the
reject (which I have not done yet), I don't feel comfortable even trying to
boot up on the 2.2.9 kernel /w raid patches. Unfortunately, I've formatted
all but my root partition with the new raid tools and kernel patches. It
would be a royal pain to move back down to the version in the official
kernel (although that would probably be safer).
As a side note, does anyone know why the hell RedHat put alpha patches in
their production release? Out of curiosity, did they ask anyone on this
mailing list for an opinion, or was it a unilateral decision? Curious minds
want to know....
