Hello Neil,Jes, Question about the patch " md/raid1: Avoid raid1 resync getting stuck" Is this patch relevant for kernel 3.18? In Linus's tree I don't see this patch being tagged for stable[1]. Thanks, Alex. [1] commit e8ff8bf09ff49733534ff3cee91bde030186055f Author: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 16 10:20:05 2015 -0400 md/raid1: Avoid raid1 resync getting stuck close_sync() needs to set conf->next_resync to a large, but safe value below MaxSector and use it to determine whether or not to set start_next_window in wait_barrier() Solution suggested by Neil Brown.
