From a364092a412975e506415f77f0628cbdd28c3913 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2008 15:44:32 -0700 Subject: raid: make RAID autodetect default a KConfig option RAID autodetect has the side effect of requiring synchronisation of all device drivers, which can make the boot several seconds longer (I've measured 7 on one of my laptops).... even for systems that don't have RAID setup for the root filesystem (the only FS where this matters). This patch makes the default for autodetect a config option; either way the user can always override via the kernel command line.
