Hi Neil and Ingo, I've rediffed the md-mp patch vs 2.4.21pre5. The new diff also includes a bugfix where the multipath mode would not correctly switch to a spare path if the only active path failed. It also includes a slightly different fix for the "do not derefence sb if disk_faulty". Please consider for inclusion in 2.4.21. If it can't go in yet, please tell me what kind of changes you'd like to have for 2.4.22 instead. I understand that in particular the CLEAN_PATH ioctl might not be considered a good thing; I gather that you seem to prefer the hot remove / hot add cycle instead; I think the CLEAN_PATH ioctl is nicer though. The patch, together with necessary changes to mdadm to take advantage of this functionality is at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/lmb/md-mp/md-mp-2, as soon as the mirrors have catched up.
