-Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.0.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
-
-
-I am pleased to announce the availability of 
-   mdadm version 1.0.0
-It is available at
-   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
-
-as both a source tar-ball, as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386.
-
-mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
-device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
-known as Software RAID arrays.
-
-mdadm incorporates much of the functionality of raidtools, though with
-a very different interface, and also provides extra functionality
-including:
-   - monitoring array and alerting admin staff of issues
-   - moving spares between arrays as needed
-   - assembling arrays based on superblock content
-   - displaying details of arrays and of superblocks
-
-The release of version 1 is intended to suggest that mdadm is
-   - feature-complete
-   - reasonably bug-free
-   - reasonably well documented.
-
-I hope not to make another release until md driver enhancements
-necessitate it, but we will have to wait and see....
-
-Note: mdadm was previously known as 'mdctl'.  It is the same tool,
-just a different name.

-
-mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
-device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
-known as Software RAID arrays.
-
-Release 1.1.0 contains a number of spell corrections, and bug fixes.
-It has improved support for MULTIPATH arrays.
-It has some new features including:
-  --daemonise   	for use with --monitor
-  --config=partitions   to find devices by examining /proc/partitions
-  --update=super-minor  to change the recorded minor-number for an array
-
-Much of the improvements are due to user feed-back.  Thanks are due to all who 
-gave suggestions and reported problems.
-
-I expect the next major release to be 2.0.0 which will include support for 
-a new super-block format soon to be supported by 2.5 series kernels.

-    -   Open sub-devices with O_EXCL to detect if already in use
-    -   Make sure superblock updates are flushed directly to disk.
-
-The first update is the most significant ("mdadm -Escpartitions" would crash).

-
-
-I am pleased to announce the availability of 
-   mdadm version 1.8.1
-It is available at
-   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
-and
-   http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
-
-as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386.
-
-This is a "development" release of mdadm.  It should *not* be
-considered stable and should be used primarily for testing.
-The current "stable" version is 1.8.0.
-
-Release 1.8.1 supports different styles of superblocks (aka RAID metadata).
-Two formats are currently supported 
-   version 0.90.0 - the traditional Linux RAID superblock
-   version 1 - a new superblock which less useless information and some more 
-        flexability.
-
-Version 1 supports more than 28 devices in an array, and RAID1 and greater over
-devices larger than 2TB (though a 2TB RAID1 would take forever to resync!).
-
-mdadm 1.8.1 takes a different approach to creating arrays than
-previous versions, though this is largely transparent.  Instead of
-giving the devices to the kernel and letting it "create" the array and
-write out initial superblocks, mdadm 1.8.1 writes out the initial
-superblocks itself, thus creating the array, and then asks the kernel
-to assemble that array.
-
-Version 1 superblocks requires 2.6.10 or a recent 2.6.10-rc snapshot.
-
-Enhancements that are expected before this becomes 2.0.0:
-
- - mdassemble currently doesn't compile
- - version 1 superblocks have room for a label, which currently isn't used.
-   Setting the label, and assembling arrays by label will be supported.
-   A label like "$HOSTNAME-root" could be the standard label for the device 
-   containing the root filesystem for $HOSTNAME.

-mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
-device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
-known as Software RAID arrays.
-
-Release 1.9.0 adds:
-    -   Fix rpm build problem (stray %)
-    -   Minor manpage updates
-    -   Change "dirty" status to "active" as it was confusing people.
-    -   --assemble --auto recognises 'standard' name and insists on using
-        the appropriate major/minor number for them.
-    -   Remove underscore from partition names, so partitions of 
-	"foo" are "foo1", "foo2" etc (unchanged) and partitions of
-	"f00" are "f00p1", "f00p2" etc rather than "f00_p1"...
-    -   Use "major", "minor", "makedev" macros instead of 
-	"MAJOR", "MINOR", "MKDEV" so that large device numbers work
-	on 2.6 (providing you have glibc 2.3.3 or later).
-    -   Add some missing closes of open file descriptors.
-    -   Reread /proc/partition for every array assembled when using
-	it to find devices, rather than only once.
-    -   Make "mdadm -Ss" stop stacked devices properly, by reversing the
-	order in which arrays are stopped.
-    -   Improve some error messages.
-    -   Allow device name to appear before first option, so e.g.
-	mdadm /dev/md0 -A /dev/sd[ab]
-	works.
-    -   Assume '-Q' if just a device is given, rather than being silent.
-
-This is based on 1.8.0 and *not* on 1.8.1 which was meant to be a pre-release 
-for the upcoming 2.0.0.  The next prerelease will have a more obvious name.
