Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.10.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am pleased to announce the availability of
|
|
mdadm version 1.10.0
|
|
It is available at
|
|
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
|
|
and
|
|
http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
|
|
|
|
as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386.
|
|
|
|
mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
|
|
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
|
|
known as Software RAID arrays.
|
|
|
|
Release 1.9.0 adds:
|
|
- Fix bug with --config=partitions
|
|
- Open sub-devices with O_EXCL to detect if already in use
|
|
- Make sure superblock updates are flushed directly to disk.
|
|
|
|
The first update is the most significant ("mdadm -Escpartitions" would crash).
|
|
The others are mildly useful extras.
|
|
|
|
Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW:
|
|
The School of Computer Science and Engineering
|
|
at
|
|
The University of New South Wales
