Hi Linus, Please consider pulling the following changes for 2.6.35. They are: - fixes for regressions introduced in -rc1 (Restore partition....) - fixes for enhancements added in -rc1 which were not yet perfect (mostly relating to 'takeover' of one level by another) - fixes for bugs of longer standing. One of these was poor handling of multiple device failure when converting a RAID5 to a RAID6 with several more devices. This bug exposed several issues and covers the "md/raid5:*" patches. Thanks, NeilBrown The following changes since commit 7e27d6e778cd87b6f2415515d7127eba53fe5d02: Linux 2.6.35-rc3 (2010-06-11 19:14:04 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://neil.brown.name/md/ for-linus Maciej Trela (3): md: fix raid10 takeover: use new_layout for setup_conf md: clear layout after ->raid0 takeover md: enable raid4->raid0 takeover NeilBrown (8): Restore partition detection of newly created md arrays. md: fix handling of array level takeover that re-arranges devices. md/raid5: avoid oops when number of devices is reduced then increased. md: Don't update ->recovery_offset when reshaping an array to fewer devices. md/raid5: More careful check for "has array failed". md/raid5: Allow recovered part of partially recovered devices to be in-sync md/raid5: add a missing 'continue' in a loop. md/raid5: don't include 'spare' drives when reshaping to fewer devices.
