mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
|
||
|
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
|
||
|
known as Software RAID arrays.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Release 2.5.6 is a bugfix release over 2.5.5, which it turns out
|
||
|
wasn't the last before 2.6. Maybe this one?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changelog Entries:
|
||
|
- Fix bug which meant "bitmap=xxx" in mdadm.conf was not handled
|
||
|
properly.
|
||
|
- Documentation updates.
|
||
|
- Fix bug that caused infinite loop when doing auto-assembly,
|
||
|
in certain cases where arrays couldn't be assembled.
|
||

Development of mdadm is sponsored by
