I found a small bug in the documentation of mdadm. I fixed it in my
local git clone of git://neil.brown.name/mdadm Here is the change:
git diff mdadm.8.in

Hi,
I don't think this belongs to LKML.
I am not familiar with linux-raid but I think that the following guidelines
do apply there as well.

Other than this, the patch is a legitimate one, I am sure it will be accepted.
