[Yaird-devel] Patch for Raid failures on Debian

[Miller, Richard E]

Jonas,
Thank you.  It looks like the problem is not present on
Linux version 2.6.20...
The Version which has been installed on the majority of our
Computers is Linux 2.6.16
I have asked the IT specialists if they have a patch or a method
To fix the issue.
Regards,
Dick Miller
