nice =] could we put these information at (Documentation/md.txt) i didn´t read yet, but could we put there? hehehe if i don´t have linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as a maillist i would read from there first, after wikipedia, and after try google... i think documentation at source code level is nice, a documentattion (.txt file) at linux source code, maybe is good, maybe not... maybe in future everythink is at wikipedia or kernel documentation or stay at .txt file, the point is, a easy to find place (if only have source code: md.txt, if have internet google or wikipedia or yahoo or another search system) thanks neil! 2011/1/31 NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>: > On Mon, 31 Jan 2011 19:39:03 -0200 Roberto Spadim <roberto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > >> hi guys, where´s the official documentation page (wiki)? is it at >> linux kernel source code? or at a wikipedia or another wiki page? >> i found this: >> http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/linux-raid >> at wikipedia >> and some documentation inside kernel source code >> what´s the most updated (official)? >> > > "official" has always struck me as a rather strange term in this sort of > context.
