[RE]Incorrect length on via raid

["James Olson" <big_spender12@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Hi Phillip,
Are you running and booting Fedora Core 5 from the raid0 array?  From my experience newer versions of dmraid set the correct stripe size, but the problem is in getting the old stripe size updated.  The old stripe size is located inside the init file in the initrd ramdisk image on FC5.
