My initial suspect would be that it seems very unlikley that the 19990713
patch (intended for 2.2.10) would apply cleanly to 2.2.5.....
however, you probably also need to make sure that the raidtools version
supplied with redhat is not installed (and possibly earlier on your
path).....
Also, what does /proc/mdstat show?

Sometimes you're ahead, somtimes you're behind.
The race is long, and in the end it's only with yourself.
