mdadm and kernel versions - what is safe and what is desirable?
I wonder which kernel version number is "needed" to prepare and run a well behaved mdadm RAID?
Reason I ask:
I am setting up a pair of Intel SS4200-EHW NAS boxes with OpenFiler 2.3 I am planning to set up RAID5 on one and RAID10 on the other one. Openfiler installs kernel 2.6.26-8
I see from reading here that apparently a number of bugs and issues have been resolved with later kernels
What would YOU do?

Raid-5 should be stable, 2.6.27 runs raid-10 fine (this VM runs on a 2.6.27 host). I think that kernel should work as long as you use it as intended.
