Oh come on, that's just rude. I don't think Neil is paid by anyone to answer
your questions here either.
Neither he was paid to add his "feel free", I guess, was he? Or was
that such an intricate payment?
Like many pieces of open source software, Linux md raid is written and
maintained by a mixture of volunteer work and corporate sponsorship. I
have no idea how much Suse (or Novell) pay Neil for the work he does -
but he goes far beyond the call of duty in his support work on this
mailing list. All he asks is that you ask your questions in a clear and
polite way. Putting the question in the subject but not in the body of
the email is not good enough - the post should have a good subject line
/and/ a good email body. Why should Neil or anyone else take the time
to write a helpful reply to someone who cannot even be bothered to write
a good email?
Neil told you why md raid does not (currently) implement "--build" for
raid5. And he suggested that if you want that behaviour to change, you
are always welcome to send a patch. If you don't want to write an
implementation of the missing behaviour, that's fair enough too - very
few people respond to "feel free to send a patch" by actually sending a
patch. But if you want to get annoyed and sarcastic, please keep your
comments to yourself.
mvh.,
