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.
19 Release 2.6.2 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.1
22 - --fail detached and --remove faulty can be used to fail and
23 remove devices that are no longer physically present.
24 - --export option for --detail or present information in a format
25 that can be processed by udev.
26 - fix internal bitmap allocation problems with v1.1, v1.2 metadata.
27 - --help now goes to stdout so you can direct it to a pager.
28 - Various manpage updates.
29 - Make "--grow --add" for linear arrays really work.
30 - --auto-detect to trigger in-kernel autodetect.
31 - Make return code for "--detail --test" more reliable. Missing
32 devices as well as failed devices cause an error.
34 Development of mdadm is sponsored by
35 SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
