1 | Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.1.5 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
2 | ||
3 | I am pleased to announce the availability of | |
4 | mdadm version 3.1.5 | |
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 3.1.4. It contains all the | |
14 | important bugfixes found while working on 3.2 and 3.2.1. It will be | |
15 | the last 3.1.x release - 3.2.1 is expected to be released in a few days. | |
16 | ||
17 | Changes include: | |
18 | - Fixes for v1.x metadata on big-endian machines. | |
19 | - man page improvements | |
20 | - Improve '--detail --export' when run on partitions of an md array. | |
21 | - Fix regression with removing 'failed' or 'detached' devices. | |
22 | - Fixes for "--assemble --force" in various unusual cases. | |
23 | - Allow '-Y' to mean --export. This was documented but not implemented. | |
24 | - Various fixed for handling 'ddf' metadata. This is now more reliable | |
25 | but could benefit from more interoperability testing. | |
26 | - Correctly list subarrays of a container in "--detail" output. | |
27 | - Improve checks on whether the requested number of devices is supported | |
28 | by the metadata - both for --create and --grow. | |
29 | - Don't remove partitions from a device that is being included in an | |
30 | array until we are fully committed to including it. | |
31 | - Allow "--assemble --update=no-bitmap" so an array with a corrupt | |
32 | bitmap can still be assembled. | |
33 | - Don't allow --add to succeed if it looks like a "--re-add" is probably | |
34 | wanted, but cannot succeed. This avoids inadvertently turning | |
35 | devices into spares when an array is failed. | |
36 | ||
37 | This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to | |
38 | upgrade to 3.1.5 | |
