It also makes mdadm better at handling very large arrays. +Finally, it adds some functionality to support some pending kernel +features such as raid5 reshaping. + +Changelog Entries: + - Try /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf if /etc/mdadm.conf doesn't exist. + This provided compatability for Debian. + - Fixed for version-1 superblock: + report chunksize for raid6 and raid10 + make sure device size used is a multiple of chunksize + - Fix "--assemble --scan" crash. + - Fix completely failure to create array on ppc64 + - Fix memcmp in place of memcpy + - A few minor improvements to online help + - Clean up usage of 'long long' for used-size of devices, so + that it is possible to create a raid1 of 7TB devices! + - Make internal bitmaps work on 7TB raid1 arrays. + - Provide error message if --examine doesn't find any superblock. + - Report 'reshape' status in --examine - this depends on kernel + patches that are not yet finalised. + - Report bitmap status in --detail and --examine + - Default to v1 superblocks instead of v0.90 if the array + is too big for 0.90 to handle. + - Sort the output of "mdadm --detail --scan" so that it is + in a suitable order for assembling arrays. i.e. components come + before an array that they are part of. + - Print size of large reiserfs array properly went warning of + possible confilcts. + +Development of mdadm is sponsored by + SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. + +NeilBrown 2nd February 2006 + |
