You did not try hard enough. I've run 0.42 on both IDE and scsi
root raid5 since it was first available. I still have one customer
that has been running 12 gig 3 - disk root raid5 ide system with 0.42
tools on a 2.0x kernel for a couple of years in a graphics service
bureau as a file server. i.e. -- lots of big files, lots of traffic.
Theyve had a hard disk failure -- survived! -- and numerous stupid
shut downs without dismount of raid (they just turned off the power),
but the system has ups+fail detect and has successfully run for a
long time with power outages, restarts, etc... Never lost any data.
Slackware ~3.x low number.
