Hi Neil,

BTW, what's your plan of including "raid6check"
into a main release of "mdadm" package?

Do you have "deadline" in mind?

What exactly do you mean by that?
raid6check.c is already in the upstream git tree and was in mdadm-3.2.5.

Hi Neil, I was under the impression you were
holding back the patches from Robert (Buchholz).

Probably I was wrong.

I don't remember holding back on any raid6check patches, but then I tend to
forget such things - usually after I've replied with why, but sometimes
before.

If there are patches that you (or anyone else) think should be in but aren't,
please point them out to me.  I'll either apply them or explain why I don't
want to.

Do you mean when will it be included by distros?  That is really up to them.
I could get "make install" to install it I guess.
I haven't really thought about what would be required for that.

I'll add it to my list of things to think about.

Well, that could be some thinking for 3.3, couldn't it? :-)

It could indeed.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

In any case, yes, it would be nice to force a bit
the hand of the distros by installing "raid6check" too.

Thanks,

bye,
