Hi!
Appended is a short patch that allows you to have more than one raid
volume. The same thing should probably be also done to the promise code.
I had no time to check. :(
I just needed this for moveing my data from the wracky IBM DLTA disks to
the new ones. It is a quick hack, but appears to work.
greetings,
Wilfried
