Hello Because of my problems in sending mails yesterday here is my second mail once again. ---begin--- Hello again :o) > The old HOWTOs are up to date with the old code. But the old > code is _old_ (and buggy etc.) Yes, but they discribe that you must patch the 2.0.x kernel. And this needn�t be done with the actual 2.2.13 kernel. (If s.o. want to use the old system) But I have seen your name in the new RAID-HowTo, so no further questions about the old system :-) > > My question is now: shall I take the normal kernel-buildin RAID > > System (with the mdtools) or shall I patch my 2.2.13 kernel > > (SuSE-Linux Distribution) and use the new one (with the raidtools)? > Patch 2.2.15pre15 instead. It's more stable than 2.2.13. Uh. Is the 2.2.15pre15 a newer kernel or a patch? Where can I get it? > > The new one is much easier I think. > > Yep.

Aha! You mean that I can take the 2.2.15pre15 kernel (because it is more stable) and use the 2.2.14 patch from RedHat. Is this right? What do you mean with reject in raid1.c? Is this a message which appears, when I patch the kernel? How can I fix by hand? Will I see, how it can be fixed?
