Maybe in my language this means "improve ability for low-level > drivers to communicate RAID support to upper layers"? I think he's talking about the deprecated raid autorun feature.

Why do I have to thing of EVMS when for each feature?.. - 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
