mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
|
|
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
|
|
known as Software RAID arrays.
|
|
|
|
Release 2.6.3 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.2
|
|
|
|
Changelog Entries:
|
|
- allow --write-behind to be set for --grow.
|
|
- When adding new disk to an array, don't reserve so much bitmap
|
|
space that the disk cannot store the required data. (Needed when
|
|
1.x array was created with older mdadm).
|
|
- When adding a drive that was a little too small, we did not get
|
|
the correct error message.
|
|
- Make sure that if --assemble find an array in the critical region
|
|
of a reshape, and cannot find the critical data to restart the
|
|
reshape, it gives an error message.
|
|
- Fix segfault with '--detail --export' and non-persistent
|
|
superblocks.
|
|
- Various manpage updates.
|
|
- Improved 'raid4' support (--assemble, --monitor)
|
|
- Option parsing fixes w.r.t -a
|
|
- Interpret "--assemble --metadata=1" to allow any version 1.x
|
|
metadata, and be more specific in the "metadata=" message printed
|
|
with --examine --brief
|
|
- Fix spare migration in --monitor.
