Available as ftp://oboe.it.uc3m.es/pub/Programs/fr1-2.2.tgz This still needs to have the checkpoint (X) stuff put in, but I'm too tired to do it right now. What it has is 1) single bitmap 2) recognition of a "hotrepair" via the superblock on a persistent sb array and also 3) allow "hotrepair" on a nonpersistent sb array when a hotadd follows a setfaulty directlym without hotremove. I'll complete it tomorrow. I checked basic functionality (i.e. "it works", tm).
