Thnx Peter, this fixes the compile error
now i run 2.4.20 with the patch, and build the raid correctly
only a small thing left (in the raid code?) that needs to be fixed :
(array size is neggative)
mdadm version 1.0.1
but maybe it is just mdadm which is a buggy program
since the 'Total Devices : 16' is also incorrect (seen before on multiple
systems)

ok clear, so no raid5 for 2TB+ then :(
looks like i have to remove some hd's then
what will be the limit ?
13*180GB in raid5 ?
or 12*180GB in raid5 ?
Device Size : 175823296 (167.68 GiB 180.09 GB)
13* will give me 1,97TiB but will there be an internal raid5 problem ?
(since it will be 13*180GB to be adressed)

I did a 12x180G and as I recall was unable to do 13x180G as it overflowed during mke2fs. This was a year ago though so I don't know
if that's been improved since then.
I've got 13 of these with one drive marked as a spare:
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 22072 cylinders
