Wasn't the module merged to raid456 in 2.6.18?

Are your mdx_raid6's earlier kernels. My raid 6 is on 2.7.17 and says _raid6

Could it be that the combined kernel thread is called mdX_raid5

Ah, was it? I might have missed that...

Yes - earlier ones are  2.6.18.

If this is the case, then yes! It just seemed a bit odd to me ...

Cheers,

Yup
raid5.c now handles 45 and 6 and says:
mddev-thread = md_register_thread(raid5d, mddev, %s_raid5);

I think I may actually be able to patch that...
