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 2.6.9 contains various bug fixes.
18 Clearly 2.6.8 was not the final 2.x release.
19 Hopefully 2.6.9 will be as I don't want go to 2.7, and
20 2.6.10 might be confusing (though I'll probably go that

27 Bernhard Reutner-Fischer (1):
28 mdadm fix compilation for uClibc
31 Fail overtly when asprintf fails to allocate memory
32 Typo in earlier patch : asprintf -> vasprintf
35 Allow --config in --incremental mode.
36 Kill: Don't use O_EXCL when --force is used.
37 Assemble: don't assume array is 'clean' unless all devices think it is.
38 Assemble: set stripe_cache_size properly when restarting a reshape.
39 map: rebuild map if it doesn't exist.
40 Free mdstat data structures properly.
41 Fix the used device size in mdadm -D output.
42 Document 'max' option to --grow --size in --help output.
43 Fix possible crash if bitmap metadata is bad.
44 Monitor: send --test message for arrays in /proc/mdstat that aren't in mdadm.conf
45 super1: make sure max_dev grows enough when adding a device to an array.
