I could have sworn that Neil sent a RAID1 patch out as well, which was just adding an 'else' after a block.

I've got a dual PIII 550 with 8 disks on it, so I'll see about beating on it if I get a change. I need to take a backup anyway this weekend...

Once I get 2.5.70* up and running, I'll try out my hacks to the Cyclades driver (and we need a patch for the Kconfig entry as well, it's wrong in it's description) under ISA to see if I can get it working. I'll bounce those to you and Linus if they fly. Thanks, John -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
