Umm, Ingo Molnar == [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think we can assume that there
is somebody working for Red Hat who knows a bit about the current state
of Raid. :)
However, speaking from the point of view of a kernel developer rather
than a Red Hat employee, there are real obstacles to including the new
Raid stuff in Red Hat Linux, the main one being compatibility with
existing installations using older Raid code. I wouldn't like to be the
one trying to make Red Hat upgrades work with the new Raid drivers but
without breaking old-style Raid volumes...
