Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.6.9 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
|
|
|
|
I am pleased to announce the availability of
|
|
mdadm version 2.6.9
|
|
|
|
It is available at the usual places:
|
|
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 2.6.9 contains various bug fixes.
|
|
Clearly 2.6.8 was not the final 2.x release.
|
|
Hopefully 2.6.9 will be as I don't want go to 2.7, and
|
|
2.6.10 might be confusing (though I'll probably go that
|
|
way if I need to).
|
|
|
|
New features will only appear in the 3.x series of which 3.0 will be
|
|
release within a few months.
