Yeah, IBM wrote a little app to help with that.  We stuffed it into the
mdadm package we ship since that seemed the most appropriate place for
it.  It's called mdmpd and that's it's job basically.  Very simple app,
but doesn't run on upstream kernels at the moment (it wants the md event
interface which hasn't yet been submitted upstream by Neil).
iirc the it has been submitted and refused

Well..... it's still alive in -mm, and where there's life, there's

I didn't know that.  You know, I resubbed to linux-kernel about 2 days
after this conversation ended, so I read the archives yesterday and
wanted to write some responses to what was in there today.  Now, whether
I'll have the time to get to it today or not is one thing, but I am
planning on responding and it's nice to know that it's not *totally*
dead already.
