3 I am somewhat disappointed to have to announce the availability of
4 mdadm version 3.2.5

6 It is available at the usual places, now including github:
7 countrycode=xx.
8 http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/

10 git://github.com/neilbrown/mdadm

14 This release primarily fixes a serious regression in 3.2.4.
15 This regression does *not* cause any risk to data. It simply
16 means that adding a device with "--add" would sometime fail
17 when it should not.
18
19 The fix also includes a couple of minor fixes such as making
20 the "--layout=preserve" option to "--grow" work again.

22 A reminder that the default location for runtime files is now
23 "/run/mdadm". If you compile this for a distro that does not
24 have "/run", you will need to compile with an alternate setting for
25 MAP_DIR. e.g.
26 make MAP_DIR=/var/run/mdadm
27 or
28 make MAP_DIR=/dev/.mdadm
