* Mdassemble improvementsLuca Berra2006-10-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | From: Luca Berra <bluca@comedia.it> - Fix a bug where mdassemble didn't close a filedescriptor and so couldn't assembele stacked arrays. - Allow mdassemble, when run a second time, to mark all arrays as writable. This is useful if they are started read-only as is best at boot-time.
* Reduce max bitmap size when bitmap is in a file.Neil Brown2006-10-161-0/+3
| | | | To ensure kernel never needs to allocate more than 1 page contiguously.
* Don't #include blkpg.hNeil Brown2006-10-161-0/+4
| | | | Just include the content directly. It is safer.
* Release 2-5-4mdadm-2.5.4Neil Brown2006-10-131-1/+1
|
* Remove partitions from components of an md arrayNeil Brown2006-10-131-0/+4
| | | | They do nothing but cause confusion.
* Allow a number after --auto=yesNeil Brown2006-10-131-0/+2
| | | | | | So if the device name is /dev/md/d0, then the number of partitions is as given. This is useful in 'CREATE' in mdadm.conf
* Fixed endian problem with bitmap metdataPaul Clements2006-10-091-0/+1
| | | | From: Paul Clements <paul.clements@steeleye.com>
* Fix some endian-ness issues with v1 superblocks.Neil Brown2006-10-091-1/+3
|
* Allow symlink creation to be disabled from command line or mdadm.confNeil Brown2006-08-111-0/+5
|
* Tidyup automatic name choice for v-1 arraysNeil Brown2006-08-071-0/+2
| | | | /dev/md_d0 now becomes '0', not '_d0'.
* Fix starting of degraded arrays.Neil Brown2006-08-071-0/+1
| | | | | Recent change broke assembling of degraded arrays, making it require --run. This fixes that.
* Explicitly state GPL license in man pages.Neil Brown2006-08-071-0/+1
|
* Document usage of version0.91 superblock.Neil Brown2006-08-071-0/+3
|
* Release 2.5.2mdadm-2.5.2Neil Brown2006-06-271-1/+1
| | | | Description...
* More consistent honoring of --configfileNeil Brown2006-06-261-0/+2
| | | | | Never use /etc/mdadm.conf if --config file is given (previously some code used one, some used the other).
* Improve ftw handling.Neil Brown2006-06-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | If not 'ftw' is available, still allow openning of devices by dev number. More recent version of uclibc support nftw, so add support to check for that.
* Fix a recently introduced bug, and make --assemble more resilient to it.Neil Brown2006-06-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | Make -assemble a bit more resilient to finding strange information in superblocks. Don't claim newly added spares are InSync!! (don't know why that code was ever in there)
* Work around bug in --add handling for version-1 superblocksNeil Brown2006-06-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | In 2.6.17 (and prior), the dev_number is ignored when a device is added to an active array. Rather the first free number is used. So we work around this by making sure we use the first free number for dev_number. Description...
* Add 'Array Slot' line to --examine for version-1 superblocksNeil Brown2006-06-261-0/+2
| | | | to make it a bit easier to see what is happening.

* New flag --no-degradedNeil Brown2006-05-191-19/+23
| | | | | | | | | Use to avoid starting arrays if there are fewer devices available than last time the array was started. This is only needed with --scan, as with --scan, that behaviour is the default. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>

* Allow default creation info to to be stored in mdadm.confNeil Brown2006-05-151-0/+2
| | | | | | Default owner, group, mode and 'auto' flag can be given in a 'CREATE' line. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* Limit size of bitmap to 2million chunks.Neil Brown2006-05-151-0/+3
| | | | | | | | When creating a file bitmap, choose a default size that results in fewer than 2^21 chunks. Without this kmalloc failure in the kernel becomes likely. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* Support new offset layout for raid10Neil Brown2006-05-151-0/+1
| | | | | | Requires 2.6.18. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* Assume "DEVICE partitions" if no DEVICE line present.Neil Brown2006-05-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | This means the output of "mdadm -Es" can be used as a complete mdadm.conf file .... if you really want to do that. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* Arrange that SparesMissing events generate an email too.Neil Brown2006-05-151-0/+2

* Fix alignment problem in version-1 superblocks.Neil Brown2006-04-071-0/+8
| | | | | | | | NOTE: This is an incompatable change affecting raid5 reshape. If you want to reshape a raid5 using version-1 superblocks, use 2.6.17-rc2 or later, and mdadm-2.4.1 or later. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>

* Allow resize to backup to a file.Neil Brown2006-03-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | To support resizing an array without a spare, mdadm now understands --backup-file= which should point to a file for storing a backup of critical data. This can be given to --grow which will create the file, or --assemble which will restore from the file if needed. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
* Remove ident arg from getinfo_super;Neil Brown2006-03-271-0/+1
