Hello, I know that mdadm appears to be in vogue at present, but for any of you using the "raidtools" suite of programs, please find a patch against raidtools-1.00.3. The patch addresses a couple of problems I found in raidtools - mainly due to the coding assumption that only raid devices "md0 - md9" would be used - if you try and use "md1" and "md10" you'll get an error saying the device is already running. The patch also includes the --no-delay flag for mkraid which is used to avoid the 5 second warning included when using the --dangerous-no-resync option. I've found this useful for avoiding the delay when using mkraid in scripts. Regards, Simon.
