I'm wanting to use the latest kernel with raid patches and I'm new to
the mailing list... Is raid with 2.2.10 a matter of applying the 2.2.6
raid patches, and adding that code above? What are the "AC" patches?
Is the fix in the second paragraph above required?
What are good sites for raid info - can I find digests of this list
anywhere?
Thanks for your help.
