Following are 5 patches that start by adding sysfs support to 'md',
and then proceed to add functionality that makes use if it.
For example:
The raid5 stripe cache can be resized with
echo NNN > /sys/block/mdX/md/raid5/stripe_cache_size
An array can resync'ed with
echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/scan_mode
On raid5, the number of parity mismatches found will be reported in
/sys/block/mdX/md/mismatch_cnd
You will note that raid5 has got the most new functionality. Matching
functionality for other md personalities will follow.
These patches should be suitable for merging after 2.6.14 is released.
