1 | Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.10.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | ||
| 4 | I am pleased to announce the availability of | |
| 5 | mdadm version 1.10.0 | |
| 6 | It is available at | |
| 7 | http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/ | |
| 8 | and | |
| 9 | http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386. | |
| 12 | ||
| 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. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | Release 1.9.0 adds: | |
| 18 | - Fix bug with --config=partitions | |
| 19 | - Open sub-devices with O_EXCL to detect if already in use | |
| 20 | - Make sure superblock updates are flushed directly to disk. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | The first update is the most significant ("mdadm -Escpartitions" would crash). | |
| 23 | The others are mildly useful extras. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW: | |
| 26 | The School of Computer Science and Engineering | |

| 28 | The University of New South Wales | |
