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 2.5.2 is primarily a bugfix release over 2.5.1. | |
20 | It also contains a work-around for a kernel bug which affects | |
21 | hot-adding to arrays with a version-1 superblock. | |
22 | ||
23 | Changelog Entries: | |
24 | - Fix problem with compiling with gcc-2 compilers | |
25 | - Fix compile problem of post-incrmenting a variable in a macro arg. | |
26 | - Stop map_dev from returning [0:0], as that breaks things. | |
27 | - Add 'Array Slot' line to --examine for version-1 superblocks | |
28 | to make it a bit easier to see what is happening. | |
29 | - Work around bug in --add handling for version-1 superblocks | |
30 | in 2.6.17 (and prior). | |
31 | - Make -assemble a bit more resilient to finding strange | |
32 | information in superblocks. | |
33 | - Don't claim newly added spares are InSync!! (don't know why that | |
34 | code was ever in there) | |
35 | - Work better when no 'ftw' is available, and check to see | |
36 | if current uclibc provides ftw. | |
37 | - Never use /etc/mdadm.conf if --config file is given (previously | |
38 | some code used one, some used the other). | |
