don't worry, I know how easy is to loose track of
such items. That's why I kept (slowly) insisting.

Thanks.

One question, I did not find the previous patch to "restripe.c",
which was adding the ":offset" capability. This was in order to
be able to cope with metadata 1.1 or 1.2 (offset to be determined).

I think this more or less correct.

I would like to pass, to "raid6check", the md device as only
parameter, maybe with some start/stop position, and derive all
the needed information from that.

That is, it should be: raid6check /dev/mdX start stop
Or, possibly: raid6check /dev/mdX start length
Or just: raid6check /dev/mdX

This means, the information that should be derived is:

1) level, in order to confirm it is 6
2) layout
3) disk components
4) offset for each component
5) chunk size

That should be all, I guess.

Your "sysfs_read" seems to do exactly this, please confirm.

Thanks for the explanation. How is, then, the "unfreeze"?

I'll ask, if I need more information.
