1 | Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.6.9 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
2 | ||
3 | I am pleased to announce the availability of | |
4 | mdadm version 2.6.9 | |
5 | ||
6 | It is available at the usual places: | |
7 | countrycode=xx. | |

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 2.6.9 contains various bug fixes. | |
18 | Clearly 2.6.8 was not the final 2.x release. | |
19 | Hopefully 2.6.9 will be as I don't want go to 2.7, and | |
20 | 2.6.10 might be confusing (though I'll probably go that | |
21 | way if I need to). | |
22 | ||
23 | New features will only appear in the 3.x series of which 3.0 will be | |
24 | release within a few months. | |
