I'll update the HOWTO to reflect any changes that people point out to
me need updating.
If we add a pointer to the new HOWTO in /documentation/Configure.help,
shouldn't that do it ?
I'm sure most people on this list are *very* interested in seeing the
new RAID stuff go into the stock kernel, especially considering the
fact that the current in-kernel RAID code is simply broken in many
cases, and doesn't provide essential features such as background
reconstruction.
The HOWTO is as always on http://ostenfeld.dk/~jakob/Software-RAID.HOWTO/
I'll go thru it myself right now, but if anyone out there has important
changes that need merging, tell me about it !
I know about the lack of documentation of the failed-disk option, which
I'll update right away.
We *need* this in the kernel, Alan and others... A kernel without this
is broken.
