Hi all, first, please let me say that I'm new to this list. I actually HAVE searched the archives and I HAVE used google a lot on this, but now I'm posting. I'm running a box that has undergone several 'yum update's since it exists, currently 'uname -r' says: 2.6.12-1.1448_FC5smp My problem is: somewhere along the way the little bash script I wrote, that uses 'raidutil' (from http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/) has stopped working and doesn't report the status of the Raid anymore, which makes monitoring a bit... hard. I use an Adaptec ASR2010S. F.e., the output of 'raidutil -L controller' is: Engine connect failed: COMPATIBILITY number osdIOrequest : File /dev/dpti17 Could Not Be Opened I have found instructions, among which are to recreate /dev/dpti0 up to /dev/dpti17, but the end of the story seems to be that the driver dpt_i2o has been replaced by i2o_block and now needs a patch to work. The patch is available at the i2o site, but since I'm a little frightened to actually recompile my own kernel, here's my question: When will those patches finally be integrated in the downloadable kernel packages, so that raidutil support will function again? Thanx in advance for reading this sermon :) Cheers, Peter.
