Hello Neil, I'm sending the patches for external metadata migrations. Both md/mdadm patches are based on OLCE patches sent by Adam Kwolek some time ago. The most important issues that are implemented: 1. support for non-grow reshape (OLCE patches were focused on grow-reshape with new devices added) 2. mdadm critical data backup mechanism for external metadata. This includes: - new external API for handling backups - IMSM specific implementation for backups and checkpointing that uses IMSM migration record 3. compatibility issues with IMSM metadata --- Maciej Trela (2): md: raid5 return new layout in mdstat while reshaping md: raid5: update suspend_hi during the reshape drivers/md/raid5.c | 13 +++++++++++-- 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- Maciek Trela -- 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
