+Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.6.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
+
+
+I am pleased to announce the availability of
+ mdadm version 1.6.0
+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.
+
+mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
+device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
+known as Software RAID arrays.
+
+Release 1.6.0 adds:
+ - --grow which (in 2.6.7-rc1-mm1 and hopefully 2.6.8) allows raid1/4/5/6
+ arrays to change the active size of the underlying devices, and allows
+ raid1 arrays to change the number of active drives.
+ - Allows --build to buld raid1 and multipath arrays.
+ - adds "degraded" and "recovering" as possibilities for the status line
+ in --detail
+ - fixes a bug in 1.5.0 which stopped resync status messages from being
+ generated in --monitor mode
+ - Further support for partitionable arrays included "--auto=" option
+ and "auto=" config file entry which instructs mdadm to create the necessary
+ device files after allocating an unused array number.
+ - assorted minor fixes and improvements.
+
+Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW:
+ The School of Computer Science and Engineering
+at
+ The University of New South Wales
