I ported the FR1 (fast raid 1, bitmapped) driver to 2.6 kernels. The patch is in the patches directory in the archive ftp://oboe.it.uc3m.es/pub/Programs/fr1-2.15b.tgz I left out async writes this time round. I actually developed and tested on 2.6.3, and then did a further (untested) port forward to 2.6.8.1, so reports welcome. The kernel raid architecture seems to have continued changing somewhat through the 2.6 series. I've only tested mirrors with two components, no spares. For reads, the 2.6 raid seems to have a new scheme (nearest head instead of swapping drives every 128 requests). I modified it slightly so that "nearest" is weighted by measured the latency of the drives.
