Hi Arthur, I have setup a git repository for mdadm here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git I'll be relying heavily on your contributions in managing this now that Neil is leaving it to us. I'll do my best to maintain it in a similar manner to Neil, albeit I am probably going to screw up a lot more often. Please fire away those patches and do not be afraid to yell at me if I get something wrong! Cheers, Jes
