Also, I forgot to mention, the reason I added the counters was
mostly for debugging. However they're also as useful in the same

fact this augments that and the existing messages the autodetect
routines provide).
As for using autodetect or not... the only way to skip it seems to
be compiling md's raid support as a module. I checked 2.6.22's
menuconfig and there's no way for me to explicitly turn it on or
off at compile time. I also feel that forcing the addition of a
boot parameter to de-activate a broken and deprecated system you
aren't even aware you are getting is somehow wrong. So if you have
over 128 devices for it to scan, as I do on one of my PCs, then it
can bring up
an array in degraded mode. ... crud.
Well, you could just change the MSDOS disk label to use a different
"Partition Type" for your raid partitions. Just pick the standard
"Linux" type and you will get exactly the same behavior that
everybody who doesn't use MSDOS partition tables gets.
