-Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.2 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
-
-I am pleased to announce the availability of
- mdadm version 2.2
-
-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 2.2 fixes a few small bugs and add as few small elements of
-functionality. Possibly the most interesting is the addition of
-'README.initramfs' and 'mkinitramfs'. Feedback on these would be
-most welcome.
-
-Changelog Entries:
- - Assorted bug fixes
- - Support write-intent-bitmaps on raid10
- - Support little-endian (Rather than hostendian) bitmaps.
- - Return correct error code from 'mdadm -S'
- - Remove extra blank line from 'mdadm -Eb' output.
- - Improve option parsing so that -a and -b do not have
- optional arguements: the arg is either required or not
- depending on context.
- - Allow scanning of devices listed in /proc/partitions even
- if they don't appear in /dev.
- - Support --assume-clean in --create mode as well as --build
- - Add support for --monitor to report to syslog: -y or --syslog.
- Thanks to Ross Vandegrift
- - --monitor now reports which device failed in a 'Fail' message
- This broke with 2.6
- - Improve chance of array starting properly after a crash.
- mdadm was insisting the event numbers were identical, but this
- isn't needed, and is a problem if the crash was while the metadata
- was being updated.
- - Support --update==uuid
- - Added README.initramfs and mkinitramfs to help people use an
- initram for starting md arrays at boot.
-
-
-Development of mdadm is sponsored by
- SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
