I had two compilation issues : * in include/linux/raid/md_k.h, external is not defined in mddev_s. I supposed it was an int. * in drivers/raid/md.c and include/linux/raid/md.h, md_do_sync is confused, being declared static, but used in other places, like raid5.c. I supposed it shall be declared non-static. With these 2 modifications, compilation is ok. Raid5 resize testing : I tried using it with 4 loop devices, creating a 3 10Mb raid5 and adding a 4th. - mdadm -C -n 3 -l 5 /dev/md1 /dev/loop[123] : no problem - mdadm -a /dev/md1 /dev/loop4 : loop4 is a spare - mdadm -G -n 4 /dev/md1 returns error, but nothing happens : the 4th is not added, and stays as a spare. md1 is still accessible, no problem about that. I'll try of course to investigate more...
