+Subject: [PATCH 02/11] Document PART-POLICY lines
+
+PART-POLICY has been accepted in mdadm.conf since the same
+time that POLICY was accepted, but it was never documented.
+So add the missing documentation.
+
+Also fix a bug which would have stopped it from working if
+anyone had ever tried to use it.
