I did a brief stress test (copying around ~50 gig of mp3s), and the driver worked just fine, no lockups, no corruption. Moreover, it appears that the driver might even let a system boot from the RAID if the driver is in the initrd. As an added bonus (to me), when running in mirrored mode, you can yank a drive out of the mirror, and use it standalone and it just works. No FS trickery or anything. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
