|
|
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
|
|
known as Software RAID arrays.

|
|
Release 2.6.2 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.1
|
|
|
|
Changelog Entries:
|
|
- --fail detached and --remove faulty can be used to fail and
|
|
remove devices that are no longer physically present.
|
|
- --export option for --detail or present information in a format
|
|
that can be processed by udev.
|
|
- fix internal bitmap allocation problems with v1.1, v1.2 metadata.
|
|
- --help now goes to stdout so you can direct it to a pager.
|
|
- Various manpage updates.
|
|
- Make "--grow --add" for linear arrays really work.
|
|
- --auto-detect to trigger in-kernel autodetect.
|
|
- Make return code for "--detail --test" more reliable. Missing
|
|
devices as well as failed devices cause an error.
