Hi out there!

I finally want to update my raid0-arrays to the 0.90 style raid. The
first thing I did was compiling raid-tools-0.90. That went fine.
I then converted my /etc/mdtab into a /etc/raidtab (please check them
for errors, they are attached).
Next step would be editing the init scripts to use raid0run instead of
mdadd -r. I tested this with one of my md's (namely /dev/md2), but I got
an error along the lines of the following:
Q> ...
Q> mkraid: aborted.
I wonder what mkraid has to do with raid0run'ning old md's on an
old-style kernel? Is raid0run only for use with new-style kernels? If
so, how the heck do I test the raidtab before changing the init scripts
and booting into the new-style kernel[1] with no return?

--------------------
[1] I could, of course do something along the lines of
# if [ "$(uname -r)" = "2.2.13" ]; then
# new-style-tools
# else
# old-style-tools
# fi
assuming that I only patch 2.2.13 for the time being. But that would
still only resolve the init-script issue. What about typos in
/etc/raidtab? This is too insecure for my taste.
