[PATCH] md: fix duplicity of levels in md.txt

2006-10-03T15:04:18Z

md.txt has two sections describing the 'level' sysfs attribute, and some of the text is out-of-date. So make just one section, and make it right. Cc: Christian Kujau Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmap

2006-10-03T15:04:17Z

Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied. The interface is write-only, and is used as follows: echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap (dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk bitmaps of array md2) echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap (dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap) This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

[PATCH] md: Allow rdev state to be set via sysfs

2006-06-26T16:58:39Z

The md/dev-XXX/state file can now be written: "faulty" simulates an error on the device "remove" removes the device from the array (if it is not busy) Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
