I have been running linux 2.2-final with raid5 for the last two days
without a problem using the pre5 raid patch.
I patched the fs.h file to have the b_lru... field
and commented out the "unused" reference in fs/buffer.c.
It looked like both of these fields were write-only (eg, unused), but
that's what I did, it worked, I'm happy. (thus far)
