X-Git-Tag: v2.6.33-rc1~284^2~9 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ece5cff0da9e696c360fff592cb5f51b6419e4d6;p=pandora-kernel.git md: Support write-intent bitmaps with externally managed metadata. In this case, the metadata needs to not be in the same sector as the bitmap. md will not read/write any bitmap metadata. Config must be done via sysfs and when a recovery makes the array non-degraded again, writing 'true' to 'bitmap/can_clear' will allow bits in the bitmap to be cleared again.
