Some things might not work in older kernels that do work in newer kernels, but if you have a reason to stay with 2.6.18, then do so. > > Also are patches(kernel-patch-2.6.18/18.6/19) in mdadm-2.6.4, Should I > apply > this patch as well. > That patch is only needed if you want to use the --incremental functionality of mdadm. If you do want to use that functionality, then you should really upgrade your kernel. If you don't then don't worry about the patches. I'll probably remove them from the next release of mdadm.
