The patch titled md: make sure a re-add after a restart honours bitmap when resyncing has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was md-make-sure-a-re-add-after-a-restart-honours-bitmap-when-resyncing.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: md: make sure a re-add after a restart honours bitmap when resyncing From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Commit 1757128438d41670ded8bc3bc735325cc07dc8f9 was slightly bad. If an array has a write-intent bitmap, and you remove a drive, then readd it, only the changed parts should be resynced. However after the above commit, this only works if the array has not been shut down and restarted. This is because it sets 'fullsync' at little more often than it should. This patch is more careful.
