| 4 | I am pleased to announce the availability of | |
| 5 | mdadm version 2.0-devel-2 | |
| 6 | It is available at | |

| 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 2.0-devel-2 is a development release that quit possible has | |
| 18 | bugs. It released in the hope of getting wider testing. | |
| 19 | It adds support for version-1 superblock which allow more that 28 devices | |
| 20 | in an array (among other things) and for bitmap-based-write-intent-logging | |
| 21 | which can improve resync speed after an unclean shutdown. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | This release contains assorted fixes and forward-ports from 1.12.0 | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW: | |
