Ah... I wasn't aware that upstream still actively discourages it's
use :)



btw,... when I have you in chat Neil... (and actually this might be
interesting for the Debian maintainer, too)...

1) Is there any interest int moving Debian's mdadm FAQ upstream?
I've started with a patchset (not yet submitted, though) that improves
some areas of the current versions...
And I sent you a mail with some infos needed to better describe the
RAID10 layouts... perhaps you've also seen already the two threads on
linux-raid... some questions I've asked there are also of (IMHO) general
interest (and not yet really answered).

So given that most of these questions are not Debian specific... it may
help in moving the FAQ upstream.

2) Can it be that the ANNOUNCE-file for 3.2.6 is missing in git? (it's
in the tarball on kernel.org)



Oh and one more thing (but this goes probably again more to the Debian
maintainer):
I've noted that Debian's udev rules has several (minor?) differences to
those from upstream... some of them are commented to be intentional,
some not.
The same is the case with Debian's lvm2 package,... where the changes
cause several problems and are really a pain in the ar**... so perhaps
it's worth that someone (with more insight than me ;) ) checks this :)


Thanks,
Chris.
