I have completed patches manually in a 2.2.0-pre9, but then I have compilation
errors on fs/buffer.c .
It seems that some kernel structures have been changed in pre8 (there is no
more an unused "b_lru_...." field, and an "...unused..." field ), and raid
patches put some values there, from that the error. I have tried to correct
manually the sources, but I am scared about correcting a so-long piece of
software, so I 'll use pre7, and I 'll wait for a new raid patch.
