Thanks for this. For myself, I have not had a chance to look at the raid code in 2.5 yet. It was badly messed up (as you would expect) by the bio re-write, and will need a lot of TLC to get it working again. I gather than Ingo has done some work but there is much more to do (I don't thing raid5 even compiles currently). I do plan to look at it one day soon, but there is so much else to do ....
