+
+I am pleased to announce the availability of
+ mdadm version 2.6.2
+
+It is available at the usual places:
+ http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
+and
+ countrycode=xx.
+ 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 2.6.2 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.1
+
+Changelog Entries:
+ - --fail detached and --remove faulty can be used to fail and
+ remove devices that are no longer physically present.
+ - --export option for --detail or present information in a format
+ that can be processed by udev.
+ - fix internal bitmap allocation problems with v1.1, v1.2 metadata.
+ - --help now goes to stdout so you can direct it to a pager.
+ - Various manpage updates.
+ - Make "--grow --add" for linear arrays really work.
+ - --auto-detect to trigger in-kernel autodetect.
+ - Make return code for "--detail --test" more reliable. Missing
+ devices as well as failed devices cause an error.
+
+Development of mdadm is sponsored by
+ SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
