Ext3 users - Aug 2001 - raid and ext3

Hello,

I   have    tried   to    apply   the   raid-2.2.19-A1    patch   from
http://www.redhat.com/~mingo and  ext3 0.0.7a,  but it  conflicts with
the include/fs.h. The  conflict is about the  bit-numbering: ext3 uses
several new  files, and  raid also wants  to use one  new flag.  Can I
simply  appent  the  new  value   to  the  list  of  "BL_*"  variables
(BL_LowPrio wants to be 8, but the first free slot is 16).

Yep, renumbering the buffer flags is fine.  Beware that software raid
on 2.2 has incompatibilities with journaling if you are using raid1 or
raid5, though.  2.4 is fine, and raid0 works fine with ext3 on 2.2.
