The patch titled md: fix bug where new drives added to an md array sometimes don't sync properly has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is md-fix-bug-where-new-drives-added-to-an-md-array-sometimes-dont-sync-properly.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: md: fix bug where new drives added to an md array sometimes don't sync properly From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> This fixes a bug introduced in 2.6.18. If a drive is added to a raid1 using older tools (mdadm-1.x or raidtools) then it will be included in the array without any resync happening. It has been submitted for 2.6.18.1.
