|
|
||
|
mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
|
||
|
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
|
||
|
known as Software RAID arrays.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Release 2.6.1 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6 including improved
|
||
|
support for growing a RAID6 array.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changelog Entries:
|
||
|
- --monitor was producing some meaningless warnings due to a bug.
|
||
|
- Fix some compiler warnings.
|
||
|
- Fully support --grow for raid6. If a reshape crashed during the
|
||
|
critical period, mdadm wouldn't restore the Q information
|
||
|
properly.
|
||
|
- Update documentation for --grow.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Development of mdadm is sponsored by
|
||
