We are now number 6 on google for "linux raid". Most of the other top pages are quite old info, say 4 to 8 years old, and not mentioning mdadm nor raid10. I would like to do some work to get rid of the outdated info, as it is quite bad guidance to users. I have contacted a number of the authors for the other top pages, but to no avail. I have then looked at who is referencing the top pages, via the Google "link: URL" feature. For our own pages this is a sad story. Almost nobody but ourselves are referencing it. That is, the links are mostly our own pages referencing our own pages, or mail archive pages of linux-raid ML referencing the wiki. I would really like to have this improved. That is, if people on this ML could add links to http://linux-raid.osdl.org/ eg from their home pages - "I am participating in the Linux kernel RAID mailing list with wiki pages at http://linux-raid.osdl.org/"; and/or include a reference to the URL when discussing RAID issues on other fora.
