1 | Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.4.1 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | I am pleased to announce the availability of | |
| 4 | mdadm version 2.4.1 | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | It is available at the usual places: | |
| 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 | mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring | |
| 12 | device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also | |
| 13 | known as Software RAID arrays. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | 2.4.1 primarily fixes an alignment problem in the version-1 | |
| 16 | superblock. This is an incompatible change relating to | |
| 17 | raid5-reshape. Read the change log below. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | Changelog Entries: | |
| 20 | - Honour --write-mostly when adding to an array without persistent | |
| 21 | superblocks. | |
| 22 | - Fix alignment problem in version-1 superblocks. | |
| 23 | NOTE: This is an incompatable change affecting raid5 reshape. | |
| 24 | If you want to reshape a raid5 using version-1 superblocks, | |
| 25 | use 2.6.17-rc2 or later, and mdadm-2.4.1 or later. | |

| 27 | Development of mdadm is sponsored by | |
| 28 | SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. | |
