test10 and test11 both worked fine for me in my tests. I've heard some
reports of file system problems with test11 so I'm running test10.
test5 was the first unpatched version of Linux to ever do software RAID for
me. Sure you can get non-standard kernels from Red Hat, VA, etc that are
2.2.x with RAIDtools2 patches but if you want that functionality in a
standard kernel released by Linus then you need 2.4.0-test5 minimum!
