Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.0-devel-1 DEVELOPMENT RELEASE - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
I am pleased to announce the availability of
mdadm version 2.0-devel-1
It is available at
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
and
http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386.
mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
known as Software RAID arrays.
Release 2.0-devel-1 is a development release that quit possible has
bugs. It released in the hope of getting wider testing.
It adds support for version-1 superblock which allow more that 28 devices
in an array (among other things) and for bitmap-based-write-intent-logging
which can improve resync speed after an unclean shutdown.
The bitmap logging requires patches which should be in the next -mm release
after 2.6.11-rc4 and can be downloaded from
http://neilb.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/patches/linux-devel/2.6/2005-02-18-00/
which contains patches against 2.6.11-rc3-mm2.
Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW:
The School of Computer Science and Engineering
at
The University of New South Wales
