Ideally in 2.6 one can use device mapper, but DM hasn't been incorporated into 2.4 stock, I know it's not in RHEL 3, and I don't believe it's included in SLES8. Can anyone share thoughts on if a DDF solution were built on top of DM, that DM could be included in 2.4 stock, RHEL3, or SLES8? Otherwise, Adaptec will be stuck with two different solutions anyhow, one for 2.4 (they're proposing enhancing MD), and DM for 2.6.
