Well, it is reasonable to assume that host being put in suspend
mode wouldn't have much not synced data at all. RAID-10 had been
progressing its resync quite fast, it was obvious that it had been
using bitmaps for that. Moreover — RAID-10 was the most I/O active
comparing to others, AFAIR.

I still have that RAID-6, yep:
md127 : active raid6 sdg5[2] sdf5[6] sde5[7] sda5[0] sdd5[3] sdc5[1]
1071984640 blocks super 1.0 level 6, 1024k chunk, algorithm 2
[6/6] [UUUUUU]
bitmap: 0/1 pages [0KB], 131072KB chunk

No way.

Please see above. And the RAID-5 one was recently dismissed, alas.

Well, might be VirtualBox would allow for such kind of experiment, dunno. )
P. s. Oh, and BTW, I see 2.6.18 supplied by RedHat still has the
bug causing kernel panic when using WIB -- couldn't you please point
out is it due to they're missing some important bugfix you made later?
