Working: 1. Using pure SW RAID without ADMA everything works fine. 2. Using ADMA normal operations work fine 3. Using ADMA installing file-system works fine while recover happening. 4. Using ADMA with forcing raid(-f option to mdadm) and io to file-system mounted /dev/md0 while recovery happening works fine. 5. Using ADMA wait till recovery finishes and then IO to file-system mounted /dev/md0 works fine. Not Working: 5. Using ADMA(without -f option to mdadm) and io(dd command) to /dev/md0 which is mounted using ext3 file-system causing file system errors. 6. Using ADMA with forcing (with -f to mdadm) and io to file-system mounted /dev/md0 while rebuild happening(forced a disk failure) causes file-system errors. 7. Sam as no-6 except without forcing(with out -f option to mdadm) cause file-system errors.
