Actually, you just need to renumber one of the conflicting #defines to
something unused, and it will work fine. Soft raid0 or linear mode
will work quite happily with ext3 on 2.2 after you do that, it's only
the resync after a crash that you get with raid1 or raid5 that is
dangerous.

Cheers,
Stephen
