*Oergs* Ill try that - But i dont think it was a good idea for that change
withing the 2.2 kernels ... Even it was completely undocumented as far
as i can see. This might cause problems for a lot of people as
i think the number of people using raid/md is increasingly rapidly.

In the unstable debian tree i found an raidtools2_0.90.990724 - I compiled
it for "slink" the stable Debian 2.1 and put it at

ftp://ftp.rfc822.org/pub/local/debian/binary-i386

[testing]

Ok - thats it ...

Thanks for the hint ...
