I am pleased to announce the availability of
|
||
|
mdadm version 2.6.5
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is available at the usual places:
|
||
|

||
|

|
||

|
||
|
|
||
|
mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
|
||
|
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
|
||
|
known as Software RAID arrays.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Release 2.6.5 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.4
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changelog Entries:
|
||
|
- Avoid segfault when parsing /proc/mdstat with auto-read-only
|
||
|
arrays.
|
||
|
- Fix problem with failing to add devices to v.large (>4TB) arrays,
|
||
|
cause by problems with device-size overflow.
|
||
|
- For v0.90 superblocks, print the 'Events' count as a real count,
|
||
|
not 2 numbers separated by a dot.
|
||
|
- Updates some URLs in the man page.
|
||
|
- Allow creation of a RAID6 with exactly one missing device.
|
||
|
- Use LOG_PID for syslog, so you get the pid of mdadm in the log
|
||
|
files.
|
||
|
- --export now works with --examine too (not just --detail)
|
||
|
- Improve auto-creation of device special file when using
|
||
|
--incremental
|
||
|
- Simple locking for --incremental so mdadm doesn't get confused
|
||
|
when run concurrently with itself.
|
||
|
- Make --incremental cope better with arrays that are being reshaped.
|
||
