Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.1 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
I am pleased to announce the availability of
mdadm version 2.1
It is available at the usual places:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
and
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 2.1 fixes a few problems found after the release of 2.0.
If you are using raid10 or version-1 superblocks and upgrade is
recommended.
Specifically:
- Fix assembling of raid10 array when devices are missing.
mdadm now correctly detects if a array is workable or not
depending on which devices are present, and so will correctly
handle "--assemble --force" if multiple devices have failed.
- Report raid10 layout in --examine output.
- Fix assembling of arrays that use the version-1 superblock and
have spares. Previously the spares would be ignored.
- Fix bug so that multiple drives can be re-added at once.
- Fix problem with hot-adding a bitmap to version-1-superblock
arrays.
Development of mdadm is sponsored by
SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
