Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.6.3 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
I am pleased to announce the availability of
mdadm version 2.6.3
It is available at the usual places:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
and
countrycode=xx.
http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
and via git at
git://neil.brown.name/mdadm
http://neil.brown.name/git?p=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 2.6.3 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.2
Changelog Entries:
- allow --write-behind to be set for --grow.
- When adding new disk to an array, don't reserve so much bitmap
space that the disk cannot store the required data. (Needed when
1.x array was created with older mdadm).
- When adding a drive that was a little too small, we did not get
the correct error message.
- Make sure that if --assemble find an array in the critical region
of a reshape, and cannot find the critical data to restart the
reshape, it gives an error message.
- Fix segfault with '--detail --export' and non-persistent
superblocks.
- Various manpage updates.
- Improved 'raid4' support (--assemble, --monitor)
- Option parsing fixes w.r.t -a
- Interpret "--assemble --metadata=1" to allow any version 1.x
metadata, and be more specific in the "metadata=" message printed
with --examine --brief
- Fix spare migration in --monitor.
Development of mdadm is sponsored by
SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
