Though since the 2.4 raid code is quite fragile in states not possible from 2.4 code, I found one problem a while back where 2.6-test would set the state bits wrong. The problem was fixed though. You can use 2.6 and 2.4 raid interchangably, but don't scrimp on persuing the problem from a 2.4 perspective. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
