as far as i know there aren't... you need to patch it by hand, you'll get
4 rejects from the raid-for-2.0.0 patches, I think only the last 2 in
genhd.c are significant, and they consist of adding or changing the last
parameter to an add_partion() call
(this is from memory, the names may be a tad off. I couldn't find the
actual change in the first reject for genhd.c, and the other reject was
just Ingo's 2.0.1 fix which was a tad different from Linus's fix, but
perfectly valid.)
I pounded on the above result (under raid0) over-night, and then applied
it to a production webserver ... which is very lightly loaded (3.4
hits/sec over the last 3.75 days)... so-far so good...
prior to that we had two occurences of the system locking up for 3 hrs 35
minutes, and returning as if nothing had happened (including having lost
track of 3 hours 35 minutes on the system clock (e.g. `date`)) ... I'm
hoping the 2.2.2 changes will have fixed that...
