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 2.6.5 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.4 | |
18 | ||
19 | Changelog Entries: | |
20 | - Avoid segfault when parsing /proc/mdstat with auto-read-only | |
21 | arrays. | |
22 | - Fix problem with failing to add devices to v.large (>4TB) arrays, | |
23 | cause by problems with device-size overflow. | |
24 | - For v0.90 superblocks, print the 'Events' count as a real count, | |
25 | not 2 numbers separated by a dot. | |
26 | - Updates some URLs in the man page. | |
27 | - Allow creation of a RAID6 with exactly one missing device. | |
28 | - Use LOG_PID for syslog, so you get the pid of mdadm in the log | |
29 | files. | |
30 | - --export now works with --examine too (not just --detail) | |
31 | - Improve auto-creation of device special file when using | |
32 | --incremental | |
33 | - Simple locking for --incremental so mdadm doesn't get confused | |
34 | when run concurrently with itself. | |
35 | - Make --incremental cope better with arrays that are being reshaped. | |

37 | Development of mdadm is sponsored by | |
38 | SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. | |
