This is probably not a good idea. I don't want to add new features to mdadm until I am sure that the current ones are stable - and I am not. I need to see lots of testing of the current features - both for IMSM metadata and for native metadata, including restart of an array that is undergoing reshape etc. I also need to do quite a bit of code review. Reviewing each patch as it goes in is of course important, but it is quite possible to miss things in that process. The recent changes evolved quite a bit as they were being developed, so I am far from confident that the final form really is right. > On Monday I will send you a draft plan our next steps related to mdadm (what and at what time we plan to submit) > I hope that this will improve our cooperation. I'll be happy to look over your draft plan and comment on it, but I don't expect to be reviewing/accepting any patches for new functionality at least until 3.2.1 is out which will be primarily bug fixes.
