Due to stability problems with the RAID code in 2.4 (detaailed message forthcoming), I would like to try 2.6.0 on one of our servers. However, anticipating problems, I want to make sure that this change is not irreversible.

Can I mount RAID 1 and 5 partitions in 2.6.0 and 2.4.24 interchangeably?

Thanks,

You'd better use 2.6.1-rc1 or later if you want to actually use the arrays.

So I take it there are great improvements coming, and my problems[1] could well be fixed by that... well, sounds like it's worth a try!

today, thanks to the internet, we know this is not true.

Can you run memtest on this box with stability problems?
