15 | mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring | |
16 | device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also | |
17 | known as Software RAID arrays. | |
18 | ||
19 | Release 2.6.3 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.2 | |
20 | ||
21 | Changelog Entries: | |
22 | - allow --write-behind to be set for --grow. | |
23 | - When adding new disk to an array, don't reserve so much bitmap | |
24 | space that the disk cannot store the required data. (Needed when | |
25 | 1.x array was created with older mdadm). | |
26 | - When adding a drive that was a little too small, we did not get | |
27 | the correct error message. | |
28 | - Make sure that if --assemble find an array in the critical region | |
29 | of a reshape, and cannot find the critical data to restart the | |
30 | reshape, it gives an error message. | |
31 | - Fix segfault with '--detail --export' and non-persistent | |
32 | superblocks. | |
33 | - Various manpage updates. | |
34 | - Improved 'raid4' support (--assemble, --monitor) | |
35 | - Option parsing fixes w.r.t -a | |
36 | - Interpret "--assemble --metadata=1" to allow any version 1.x | |
37 | metadata, and be more specific in the "metadata=" message printed | |
38 | with --examine --brief | |
39 | - Fix spare migration in --monitor. | |
