It looks like that would have been ancillary to the actual critical work anyway. Presuming your data doesn't read as garbage at the moment it should be intact when the reshape completes as well.

The system I use software raid on is more or less 'production' in that it's the main file-server for the house, so I tend to only use stable kernel versions. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
