James, I am checking with our FW team for the random deletion logic drive (RDLD) for Dell CERC firmware (>= 6.62) implementation. We should have the RDLD support if the driver found the FW support the RDLD. Thanks.

My patience finally ran out on this one; you have three days (that's until midnight CST on 2 April) to provide an ack or a replacement patch for this otherwise I'll apply it anyway.
