This enables support -for a new style of superblock - the version-1 superblock. -Version-1 can support many more than 28 devices and can be easily -moved between hosts with different endian-ness. -Release 2.0 also contains support for the recent bitmap-intent-logging -which will appear in 2.6.13, and the RAID1 write-behind that will be -available in 2.6.14 (it is currently only in -mm). - -This release comes with a test-suite which has been used to verify that -mdadm-2.0 actually works in a number of common scenarios. Some of the -tests require a bleeding-edge kernel, so don't be surprised if some fail -on kernels prior to 2.6.14. - -Being a '.0' release, 2.0 should be treated with some caution. -However I believe it is quite stable and can safely be used on -production systems. - -Note that this release is "2.0", not "2.0.0". I never found a use for -the third number with 1.X.Y, so I dropped it. - - -Development of mdadm has moved from CSE@UNSW and is now sponsored by - SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. - -NeilBrown 26th August 2005 - |
