Hi again. Here are 7 patches for md in 2.4.3-pre-current The first flags the START_ARRAY as deprecated - I plan to remove it in 2.7. The comment with that patch explains why. The next 5 provide some cleanup of raid1 code leading to a patch which enabled raid1 to safely use large requests when resyncing (it uses bio_add_page to make sure each page is allowed). This substantially increases resync speed in atleast one test. The final patch in a new version of the partitioning patch. It removes the rather ugly code for forcing the partitions to be re-evaluated and instead makes simple arranges for them to be reread on the next open. This fixes the one bug that was reported against the patch. I have also taken onboard some of the feedback I got about the patch.
