I do call 'md_rdev_init' which sets 'saved_raid_disk' to -1. Then, if the device has returned after a disappearance, I set 'saved_raid_disk' to it's old position. Therefore, 'saved_raid_disk >= 0' would be fine and wouldn't require me to set -1 in dm-raid.c. > > brassow > Excellent. I've taken the liberty of making that change in the patch you sent me and converted your RFC-by: to Signed-off-by: Result can be viewed at or near the top of http://neil.brown.name/git?p=md;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/for-next Please confirm that is OK to submit (eventually for 3.5).
