Linux RAID list??

I have been running the 2.2.14 kernel with patches from Ingo Molnar at Red
Hat for some time, and RAID-1 is stable (on a non-SMP machine).  You can
get Ingo's kernel-specific patches from:

	http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raid-patches/

Depending upon what you are doing, you might want to consider trying
Ingo's Beta-5 patch against the 2.4.0-ac15 pre-release kernel, as there
could be huge SMP benefits there.  If something blows up, Ingo and other
would probably want to know about it.

As for mailing lists, in general anything Linux-ish that used to reside at
"vger.rutgers.edu" can now be assumed to reside at "vger.kernel.org" -- to
get information about the linux-raid list, send a message containing the
body text (not the subject line) "info linux-raid" to the mail server at
"majordomo at vger.kernel.org".
