Check out 'cat /proc/mdstat'. If it looks something like the following,
you have old-style (0.4x) raid and you need to apply patches:
Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0]
read_ahead 120 sectors
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
You can find those patches here:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org//pub/linux/kernel/people/mingo/raid-patches
If you should have the new-style (0.90) raid, your '/proc/mdstat' should
look something like this:
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5]
read_ahead not set
unused devices: <none>
Regards, D.
PS: It is recommended patches to use the following patches too:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide-2.2.18/ide.2.2.18.1221.patch.bz2
