+Subject:  ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.0-devel-1 DEVELOPMENT RELEASE - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
+
+
+I am pleased to announce the availability of 
+   mdadm version 2.0-devel-1
+It is available at
+   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
+and
+   http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
+
+as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386.
+
+mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
+device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
+known as Software RAID arrays.
+
+Release 2.0-devel-1 is a development release that quit possible has
+  bugs.  It released in the hope of getting wider testing.
+  It adds support for version-1 superblock which allow more that 28 devices
+  in an array (among other things) and for bitmap-based-write-intent-logging
+  which can improve resync speed after an unclean shutdown.
+
+  The bitmap logging requires patches which should be in the next -mm release
+  after 2.6.11-rc4 and can be downloaded from
+    http://neilb.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/patches/linux-devel/2.6/2005-02-18-00/
+  which contains patches against 2.6.11-rc3-mm2.
+
+
+Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW: 
+  The School of Computer Science and Engineering
+at
+  The University of New South Wales
