RAID0 & mdrecoveryd

Mdrecovery in RAID0

I noticed that top shows an mdrecoveryd process, it's existance puzzles me. Based on skimming the list about recent RAID5 changes, I had thought that such a process would only exist for reconstruction of a RAID5 disk set. While I did initially enable all RAID options, my recent kernel builds ha

Huh??

I've just taken a fresh 2.0.35 kernel and applied patch raid0145-19981005-C-2.0.35 This results in all raid .h files in include/linux having zero length. Since the removed information is the only place the superblock magic information was located, it's impossible for a RAID0 system to autostar

I've enjoyed reading the rapid pace of RAID advancement in this list. I recently nearly convinced a client to utilize a RAID5 setup for a backup system (rather than a multi-tape system or a bigger tape). I nearly had it in, until the question of fire survivability came up I dislike tap
