-Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.6.8 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
-
-I am pleased to announce the availability of
- mdadm version 2.6.8
-
-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 2.6.8 contains various bug fixes and minor enhancements.
-It is possibly that 2.6.8 will be the last release in the 2.x
-series and very likely that there will never be a 2.7.
-Hopefully 3.0 will be released soon making future development
-of 2.6.x unnecessary. However if a need does arise for a 2.6.9
-it will be considered.
