Especially since these failure exits are not going to be tested on a regular basis, so the amount of bitrot will be pretty high ;-/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
