* Unify code into find_free_devnum.Neil Brown2008-05-051-31/+5
| | | | | Two places have code to find a free md device number. Make this a subroutine.
* Simplistig locking for --incremental.Bill Nottingham2008-05-051-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> mdadm --incremental doesn't really do any locking. If you get multiple events in parallel for the same device (that has not yet started), they will all go down the path to create the array. One will succeed, the rest will have SET_ARRAY_INFO die with -EBUSY (md: array mdX already has disks!) and will exit without adding the disk. Original bug report is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433932 This is solved by adding very very rudimentary locking. Incremental() now opens the device with O_EXCL to ensure only one invocation is frobbing the array at once. A simple loop just tries to open 5 times a second for 5 seconds. If the array stays locked that long, you probably have bigger issues.

* Make sure --auto=mdp is honoured properlyNeil Brown2007-10-171-0/+1
| | | | | This would only create partitioned devices if the device name was a 'standard' name. This this patch, any name will work.

* Add new mode: --incrementalNeil Brown2006-12-211-0/+48
| | | | | --incremental allows arrays to be assembled one device at a time. This is expected to be used with udev.
* Default to --auto=yesNeil Brown2006-12-141-7/+7
| | | | | so the array devices with 'standard' names get created automatically, as this is almost always what is wanted.

* Don't fail md_open if array already active.Luca Berra2006-10-161-12/+3
| | | | | | From: Luca Berra <bluca@comedia.it> There is no need and it causes occasional problems.
* Allow symlink creation to be disabled from command line or mdadm.confNeil Brown2006-08-111-5/+5

* Create symlinks from /dev into /dev/mdNeil Brown2006-08-111-0/+28
| | | | | When (auto)creating devices in /dev/md/, create an appropriate symlink from /dev to avoid confusion.
* More consistent honoring of --configfileNeil Brown2006-06-261-1/+1
| | | | | Never use /etc/mdadm.conf if --config file is given (previously some code used one, some used the other).

* Arrange the 'auto' setting in mdadm.conf can choose default type.Neil Brown2006-05-161-34/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | So when you say auto=md or auto=part in mdadm.conf, it give a preference for type of array, but standard name will override. But --auto=md is more insistant. FIXME I'm not at all happy about handling of names that already exist. I don't think that should be removed if the device is active. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
