hi ya berhard....
- i can vouch that I can use the old mdtools-0.41
with the newer linux-2.2.10 kernels with NO dataloss..
with readhat-5.2 upgraded to rh-6.0
- trying other kernels and raidtools all failed for
me with my /dev/md0 device ...
- if you do NOT want to suffer data loses...
do NOT use --force .... else you will lose data
as I did...on my experimental unimportant /dev/md0...
- did NOT try --upgrade... no other drives to test it on..
- i wanted the new kernel and new binaries...
and not necessarily due to the new md/raidtools features
have fun
