Hi!
Recently I got 4 identical cheapo SCSI disks and figures I'd like to build
a software raid with them. So, now I've got them in this old tapestreamer
enclosure next to my box and I've run into a problem.
You see, I don't plan to have the disks on all the time (noise), and, due
to the amount of narrow-device-ids, I had to put my UW disk on a high
id. So I decided to start running devfs. That way, the disks are allways
on the same /dev entry (/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target*/lun0/{part*,disc},
and virtual block devices are under /dev/md/{0,1,...}.
But then I figured out I had to patch the kernel (raid0145-patch). So the
best I could find was a patch for kernel 2.2.11, not devfs. I'm running
2.2.14. I probably wouldn't mind going back to 2.2.11, but I can't do
without devfs.
So my question is: is there a patch for devfs-kernels? What kernel version
is the latest patch against?
I figure with a litte effort I could probably modify the 2.2.11 patch to
work with 2.2.14 devfs, but I seem to have ended up in a part of the
universe where time is hard to come by.
cheers, Alfred.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers
exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will
instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more
bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which
states that this has already happened.
