Yes, that's what I tried to say. Sorry about the confusion. Basically
I have three similar setu

Hi,
I'm planning to use bitmaps on some of our RAID1 arrays.
I'm wondering how bitmaps are handeled by older kernels.
Eg: I create a raid array with a bitmap under a 2.6.15 kernel.
I now want to boot under 2.6.12, or even 2.4

Will it work even if this is my / partition?
