+
+Changes Prior to 2.2 release
- Assorted bug fixes
- Support write-intent-bitmaps on raid10
- Support little-endian (Rather than hostendian) bitmaps.
- Allow scanning of devices listed in /proc/partitions even
if they don't appear in /dev.
- Support --assume-clean in --create mode as well as --build
+ - Add support for --monitor to report to syslog: -y or --syslog.
+ Thanks to Ross Vandegrift
+ - --monitor now reports which device failed in a 'Fail' message
+ This broke with 2.6
+ - Improve chance of array starting properly after a crash.
+ mdadm was insisting the event numbers were identical, but this
+ isn't needed, and is a problem if the crash was while the metadata
+ was being updated.
+ - Support --update==uuid
+ - Added README.initramfs and mkinitramfs to help people use an
+ initram for starting md arrays at boot.
