Hi Phil,
I had no idea that you could use sectors as a suffix to data-offset as
it's not in the manpage. So you should find attached a patch file which
adds that suffix to the manpage. If this isn't the correct place to
provide patches, or if there's an issue with the formatting of my patch,
please let me know and I'll happily update it and send it to the correct
place.
This is the right place. Patches are wonderful, but do need to be
formatted to keep the Linux Foundation's lawyers happy.
The best way is to clone the mdadm tree, apply your patch, and commit it
with a proper identity in your git configuration. Use the --signoff
option[1] of git commit. Then use git format-patch to produce the final
patch file with the commit details. Send this final form to the mailing
list as your mail body (not attachment). Be sure your mail client is in
text mode with no line wrapping.
