Hi, I'd like to put raid6 to use, and after reading through the process of tracking down this bug, it seems that a rational explanation was found for the data corruption, and the fix well tested... but being new to a lot of the process here, what is the process for this to get into the standard kernel... perhaps 2.6.10 will have this patch?? Obviously I could apply the patch to raid6main.c on my system, but it would be good to use a standard kernel... The problem is only when writing to a degraded array, but most of us are impatient and want to write a filesystem and get it mounted before the first sync is complete... and those, like me cursed with bad hardware will have 2 drives fail at the same time (last week!) and hence raid6 is very appealing :). -- ¯·.¸¸.·´¯·.¸¸.-> A.
