klibc still misses a lot functionality to let mdadm link against,
this small step helps to get to the real trouble.. :)

This one fixes a bug where once manage mode is set, the -a short option
is no longer parsed correctly (true of grow mode as well). This happens
because when you switch the short opts to the bitmap_auto version, it
specifies that the argument must follow a, yet the loop expects to get
an undecorated option and parse it as the disk dev instead of trying to
parse optarg. So, create a new short opt array that is used for manage
and grow that doesn't list a as having an argument.
udev likes to get information about a device as key=value pairs so it
can create disk/by-id links etc. So add --export flag which causes
the output of --detail to easily parsable.

Depending on the size of the array we reserve space for up to 128K
of bitmap, and we use it where possible.
When hot-adding to a version 1.0 we can still only use the 3K at the
end though - need a sysfs interface to improve that.
If a small chunksize is requested on Create, we don't auto-enlarge
the reserved space - this still needs to be fixed.
If not 'ftw' is available, still allow openning of devices by dev number.
More recent version of uclibc support nftw, so add support to check
for that.

glibc 2.4 is pedantic on ignoring return values from fprintf, fwrite and
write, so now we check the rval and actually do something with it.
in the Grow.c case i only print a warning, since i don't think we can do
anything in case we fail invalidating those superblocks (is should never
happen, but then...)

glibc says of rand
Do not use this function in applications intended to be
portable when good randomness is needed.

This can be used to bootstrape homehost tagging.
If no arrays are found that are tagged, we look for any array
and tag it.

i.e. if assembling with --name or --super-minor, then if we find two
different arrays with the same apparent identity, and one was built
for 'this' host, then prefer that one instead of giving up in disgust.

We make sure all devices can are consistent before doing any --update
This saves us from updating some but not all of an array, and then
aborting.
It also means we can backtrack on out decisions, which we might want to
do later.

When an array is created, if the homehost is know,
the superblock gets it, either in the uuid, (via sha1)
or in the name field.

So when you say auto=md or auto=part in mdadm.conf, it give a preference
for type of array, but standard name will override.
But --auto=md is more insistant.
FIXME I'm not at all happy about handling of names that already exist.
I don't think that should be removed if the device is active.

A pending patch to the kernel causes bitmap file updates
to not go through the page cache, so O_DIRECT is needed to
ensure that we read current data.
Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
To support resizing an array without a spare, mdadm now understands
--backup-file=
which should point to a file for storing a backup of critical data.
This can be given to --grow which will create the file, or
--assemble which will restore from the file if needed.

Hi Neil,
While adding the text message mode, I saw a FIXME asking for syslog
support in monitor mode.
This patch adds exactly that.
