1 Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.1.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
4 I am pleased to announce the availability of
7 http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
9 http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/utils/raid/mdadm/
11 as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386.
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.
17 Release 1.1.0 contains a number of spell corrections, and bug fixes.
18 It has improved support for MULTIPATH arrays.
19 It has some new features including:
20 --daemonise for use with --monitor
21 --config=partitions to find devices by examining /proc/partitions
22 --update=super-minor to change the recorded minor-number for an array
24 Much of the improvements are due to user feed-back. Thanks are due to all who
25 gave suggestions and reported problems.
27 I expect the next major release to be 2.0.0 which will include support for
28 a new super-block format soon to be supported by 2.5 series kernels.
