-Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.4 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
-
-I am pleased to announce the availability of
- mdadm version 2.4
-
-It is available at the usual places:
- http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
-and
- http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
-
-mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
-device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
-known as Software RAID arrays.
-
-Release 2.4 primarily adds support for increasing the number of
-devices in a RAID5 array, which requires 2.6.17 (or some -rc or -mm
-prerelease).
-It also includes a number of minor functionality enhancements and
-documentation updates.
-
-Changelog Entries:
- - Rewrite 'reshape' support including performing a backup
- of the critical region for a raid5 growth, and restoring that
- backup after a crash.
- - Put a 'canary' at each end of the backup so a corruption
- can be more easily detected.
- - Remove useless 'ident' arguement from ->getinfo_super method.
- - Support --backup-file for backing-up critical section during
- growth.
- - Erase old superblocks (of different versions) when creating new
- array.
- - Allow --monitor to work with arrays with >28 devices
- - Report reshape information in --detail
- - Handle symlinks in /dev better
- - Fix mess in --detail output which a device is missing.
- - Manpage tidyup
- - Support 'bitmap=' in mdadm.conf for auto-assembling arrays with
- write-intent bitmaps in separate files.
- - Updates to md.4 man page including section on RESTRIPING and SYSFS
-
-Development of mdadm is sponsored by
- SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
