13 This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.1.
14
15 Significant changes are:
16 - The default metadata has change again (sorry about that).
17 It is now v1.2 and will hopefully stay that way. It turned
18 out there with boot-block issues with v1.1 which make it
19 unsuitable for a default, though in many cases it is still
20 suitable to use.
21 - Stopping a container is not permitted when members are still
22 active
23 - Add 'homehost' to the valid words for the "AUTO" config file
24 line. When followed by "-all", this causes mdadm to
25 auto-assemble any array belonging to this host, but not
26 auto-assemble anything else.
27 - Fix some bugs with "--grow --chunksize=" for changing chunksize.
28 - VAR_RUN can be easily changed at compile time just like ALT_RUN.
29 This gives distros more flexability in how to manage the
30 pid and sock files that mdmon needs.
31 - Various mdmon fixes
32 - Alway make bitmap 4K-aligned if at all possible.
33 - If mdadm.conf lists arrays which have inter-dependencies,
34 the previously had to be listed in the "right" order. Now
35 any order should work.
36 - Fix --force assembly of v1.x arrays which are in the process
37 of recovering.
38 - Add section on 'scrubbing' to 'md' man page.
39 - Various command-line-option parsing improvements.
40 - ... and lots of other bug fixes.

43 This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to
44 upgrade to 3.1.2
