+Subject:  ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.6.9 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
+
+I am pleased to announce the availability of
+   mdadm version 2.6.9
+
+It is available at the usual places:
+   countrycode=xx.
+   http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
+and via git at
+   git://neil.brown.name/mdadm
+   http://neil.brown.name/git?p=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 2.6.9 contains various bug fixes.
+Clearly 2.6.8 was not the final 2.x release.
+Hopefully 2.6.9 will be as I don't want go to 2.7, and
+2.6.10 might be confusing (though I'll probably go that
+way if I need to).
+
+New features will only appear in the 3.x series of which 3.0 will be
+release within a few months.
+
+Changelog Entries:
+ Bernhard Reutner-Fischer (1):
+      mdadm fix compilation for uClibc
+
+ Dustin Kirkland (2):
+      Fail overtly when asprintf fails to allocate memory
+      Typo in earlier patch : asprintf -> vasprintf
+
+ NeilBrown (11):
+      Allow --config in --incremental mode.
+      Kill:  Don't use O_EXCL when --force is used.
+      Assemble: don't assume array is 'clean' unless all devices think it is.
+      Assemble: set stripe_cache_size properly when restarting a reshape.
+      map: rebuild map if it doesn't exist.
+      Free mdstat data structures properly.
+      Fix the used device size in mdadm -D output.
+      Document 'max' option to --grow --size in --help output.
+      Fix possible crash if bitmap metadata is bad.
+      Monitor: send --test message for arrays in /proc/mdstat that aren't in mdadm.conf
+      super1: make sure max_dev grows enough when adding a device to an array.
+
+
+Development of mdadm is sponsored by
+ SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
