Subject:  ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.6.2 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux

I am pleased to announce the availability of
   mdadm version 2.6.2

It is available at the usual places:
   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
and
   countrycode=xx.

mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
known as Software RAID arrays.

Release 2.6.2  adds a  few minor bug  fixes to 2.6.1

Changelog Entries:
    -   --fail detached and --remove faulty can be used to fail and
	remove devices that are no longer physically present.
    -   --export option for --detail or present information in a format
	that can be processed by udev.
    -   fix internal bitmap allocation problems with v1.1, v1.2 metadata.
    -   --help now goes to stdout so you can direct it to a pager.
    -   Various manpage updates.
    -   Make "--grow --add" for linear arrays really work.
    -   --auto-detect to trigger in-kernel autodetect.
    -   Make return code for "--detail --test" more reliable.  Missing
	devices as well as failed devices cause an error.

Development of mdadm is sponsored by
 SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
