Hello Neil, If JimL doesn't want/have the time/etc. to do the patch testing I'd be willing to do that. Also, if there is something else I could contribute to, I'll be happy to do it, given I have time for it (I'm employed so I'll try to do it in my spare time). Yours, George Iosif >>> Neil Brown <neilb@xxxxxxx> 10/17/05 4:38 AM >>> On Sunday October 16, babydr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Hello Neil , Is it possible to inert in the 'Introduction's for your > patches a Min & Max kernel level they will successfully patch > against ? ie: 2.6.12 to 2.6.14-rc4 or some such . > That would sure take the angst out of guessing . Tia , JimL > I could certainly be more precise about which kernel they are created against (it is usually the latest 2.6-mm) but it would be a lot of work to figure out how far back you can safely go and still have the patch usefully apply, and I'm not sure that it is really worth it, is it? If you want to help test raid patch (and I do appreciate the help), it is really best if you use the most recent kernel, otherwise there could be unexpected interactions which invalidate the test.
