1 | Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.1.2 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
2 | ||
3 | I am pleased to announce the availability of | |
4 | mdadm version 3.1.2 | |
5 | ||
6 | It is available at the usual places: | |
7 | countrycode=xx. | |
8 | http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ | |
9 | and via git at | |
10 | git://neil.brown.name/mdadm | |

13 | This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.1. | |
14 | ||
15 | Significant changes are: | |
16 | - The default metadata has change again (sorry about that). | |
17 | It is now v1.2 and will hopefully stay that way. It turned | |
18 | out there with boot-block issues with v1.1 which make it | |
19 | unsuitable for a default, though in many cases it is still | |
20 | suitable to use. | |
21 | - Stopping a container is not permitted when members are still | |
22 | active | |
23 | - Add 'homehost' to the valid words for the "AUTO" config file | |
24 | line. When followed by "-all", this causes mdadm to | |
25 | auto-assemble any array belonging to this host, but not | |
26 | auto-assemble anything else. | |
27 | - Fix some bugs with "--grow --chunksize=" for changing chunksize. | |
28 | - VAR_RUN can be easily changed at compile time just like ALT_RUN. | |
29 | This gives distros more flexability in how to manage the | |
30 | pid and sock files that mdmon needs. | |
31 | - Various mdmon fixes | |
32 | - Alway make bitmap 4K-aligned if at all possible. | |
33 | - If mdadm.conf lists arrays which have inter-dependencies, | |
34 | the previously had to be listed in the "right" order. Now | |
35 | any order should work. | |
36 | - Fix --force assembly of v1.x arrays which are in the process | |
37 | of recovering. | |
38 | - Add section on 'scrubbing' to 'md' man page. | |
39 | - Various command-line-option parsing improvements. | |
40 | - ... and lots of other bug fixes. | |
41 | ||
42 | ||
43 | This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to | |
44 | upgrade to 3.1.2 | |
