Migration r0->r5 once again; with a fix comming from your comment. The following series implements support for raid0->raid5 migration for IMSM metadata. These patches blocks opposite direction of migration. Code mostly bases on patches sent to you by Adam Kwolek. I have incorporated your remarks and I tested it quite extensively for comformity with IMSM standard. I have also removed opposite direction, as it is just not supported right now. Note: Please do not include these patches on 'master' branch, as they are supposed to be a part of next minor mdadm version (ie. mdadm 3.2.2). I think good place for it is devel-3.2. Master should be reserved just for bug/stability fixes for previous release.
I have applied these patches, and in fact I have applied them to 'master' because that if where I think they belong. Eventually 3.2.2 will be whatever is on 'master' at that time. I might create a devel-3.3 at some stage to do some brand new development, but these patches are just a continuation of what went into 3.2 and 3.2.1 so I think this is where they belong. Thanks, NeilBrown
