Hi,

This is intended to be the final RC. It is inteded to build and work
on RHEL 5.x (where x >= 3), RHEL 6.x, SELS11SPx, Debian 6, Debian 5
with backports kernels, Ubuntu 10.04. 

I think all the issues reported for rc3 where fixed. Please provide
testing and feedback.

Please note: This is a release candidate, not intended for production.
Please help with testing!

   new --force option; configurable timeout for backing devices by the new
