Hi everyone, Alasdair pointed me to a wiki that is hosted by Redhat that I could post my eventing code on. I've made a page called DMRAID_Eventing: http://sources.redhat.com/lvm2/wiki/DMRAID_Eventing I would appreciate feedback on the wiki page (don't be too rough on me since it's my first attempt at a wiki page). Also any feedback from people trying out the eventing packages would be greatly appreciated.
