Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.5.2 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
|
|
|
|
I am pleased to announce the availability of
|
|
mdadm version 2.5.2
|
|
|
|
It is available at the usual places:
|
|
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
|
|
and
|
|
countrycode=xx.
|
|
http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
|
|
and via git at
|
|
git://neil.brown.name/mdadm
|
|
http://neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm
|
|
|
|
mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
|
|
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
|
|
known as Software RAID arrays.
|
|
|
|
Release 2.5.2 is primarily a bugfix release over 2.5.1.
|
|
It also contains a work-around for a kernel bug which affects
|
|
hot-adding to arrays with a version-1 superblock.
|
|
|
|
Changelog Entries:
|
|
- Fix problem with compiling with gcc-2 compilers
|
|
- Fix compile problem of post-incrmenting a variable in a macro arg.
|
|
- Stop map_dev from returning [0:0], as that breaks things.
|
|
- Add 'Array Slot' line to --examine for version-1 superblocks
|
|
to make it a bit easier to see what is happening.
|
|
- Work around bug in --add handling for version-1 superblocks
|
|
in 2.6.17 (and prior).
|
|
- Make -assemble a bit more resilient to finding strange
|
|
information in superblocks.
|
|
- Don't claim newly added spares are InSync!! (don't know why that
|
|
code was ever in there)
|
|
- Work better when no 'ftw' is available, and check to see
|
|
if current uclibc provides ftw.
|
|
- Never use /etc/mdadm.conf if --config file is given (previously
|
|
some code used one, some used the other).
