1 | Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.1.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
2 | ||
3 | ||
4 | I am pleased to announce the availability of | |
5 | mdadm version 1.1.0 | |
6 | It is available at | |
7 | http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/ | |
8 | and | |
9 | http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/utils/raid/mdadm/ | |
10 | ||
11 | as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386. | |
12 | ||
13 | mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring | |
14 | device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also | |
15 | known as Software RAID arrays. | |
16 | ||
17 | Release 1.1.0 contains a number of spell corrections, and bug fixes. | |
18 | It has improved support for MULTIPATH arrays. | |
19 | It has some new features including: | |
20 | --daemonise for use with --monitor | |
21 | --config=partitions to find devices by examining /proc/partitions | |
22 | --update=super-minor to change the recorded minor-number for an array | |
23 | ||
24 | Much of the improvements are due to user feed-back. Thanks are due to all who | |
25 | gave suggestions and reported problems. | |
26 | ||
27 | I expect the next major release to be 2.0.0 which will include support for | |
28 | a new super-block format soon to be supported by 2.5 series kernels. | |
29 | ||

31 | Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW: | |
32 | The School of Computer Science and Engineering | |
33 | at | |
34 | The University of New South Wales | |
