 This is impossible. RAID was introduced in 3.23.x series. Also
 documentation have evreything about it.

'Impossible'?

Just now, I can grab:

  http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQL-3.22/mysql-3.22.32.tar.gz

And, in that tarball, on line 190 of acconfig.h:

  /* Use MySQL RAID */
  #undef USE_RAID

And there is a include/raid.h.

And, Docs/mysqld_error.txt has this message defined:

  #define ER_NO_RAID_COMPILED 1174
  "This version of MySQL is not compiled with RAID support",

There is no 'RAID' attribute to the 'CREATE TABLE' syntax in the
supplied docs.

My question was:

 What is the state of that code?

I _surmise_ that it's unused code, as it was not fully implemented
at this point.  I was uncertain if it was code that specific to
the yet-to-be-introcuded RIAD attributes to a table, or if it just
messed with the layout of files on disk to allow for better
performance in general on RAID arrays.

I merely wanted verification.

In the create table documenttation, it explains the USE_RAID, and a few
other options pertaining to it.

Subject: 'USE_RAID' in mysql-3.22.32?


In pawing though the source for mysql-3.22.32 (our current version
in production), I noticed in acconfig.h, a macro 'USE_RAID', which
in term seems to set up the use of include/raid.h.

But, I can't find any documentation for this, and the configure
program doesn't seem to set it one way or another.

What is the state of that code?  For that version of MySQL, it it
useful/meaningful to activate it, if I intend to make use of a RAID
array?
