However I would like to leave them until I'm completely happy with the bitmap resync, including - storing bitmap near superblock (I have this working) - hot-add bitmap (I've started on this) - support for raid5/6 and hopefully raid10. (still to come) and I would really like only-kick-drives-on-write-errors-not-read-errors to be the next priority. After that, I will definitely look at async writes.
