About ten hours hence, probably.

I have a raid0 patch from Neil, but no raid1 patch. I saw one drift past, from Zwane (I think), but wasn't sure that it worked. If someone has a raid1 fix, please send it.

Welll ext3 has been a bit bumpy of course. It's getting better, but I haven't yet been able to give it a 12-hour bash on the 4-way. Last time I tried a circuit breaker conked; it lasted three hours but even ext3 needs electricity. But three hours is very positive - it was hard testing.
I'm not testing RAID at present, partly because I'm too stoopid to understand mdadm and partly because the box-with-18-disks heats the room up too much. This needs to change, because of possible interaction between the IO scheduler work and software RAID.
