Whoops! You're saying that SuSE's 2.2.14 *kernel* still needs
patching (as opposed to just having raidtools-0.90 in the system)? Of
course I enabled LVM and MD options along with linear, raid0, and
raid1 personalities when I built the kernel used for testing. But
you're saying the "out of the box" SuSE kernel isn't enough to run
raid1?
