15mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
16device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
17known as Software RAID arrays.
18
19Release 2.5.2 is primarily a bugfix release over 2.5.1.
20It also contains a work-around for a kernel bug which affects
21hot-adding to arrays with a version-1 superblock.
22
23Changelog Entries:
24 - Fix problem with compiling with gcc-2 compilers
25 - Fix compile problem of post-incrmenting a variable in a macro arg.
26 - Stop map_dev from returning [0:0], as that breaks things.
27 - Add 'Array Slot' line to --examine for version-1 superblocks
28 to make it a bit easier to see what is happening.
29 - Work around bug in --add handling for version-1 superblocks
30 in 2.6.17 (and prior).
31 - Make -assemble a bit more resilient to finding strange
32 information in superblocks.
33 - Don't claim newly added spares are InSync!! (don't know why that
34 code was ever in there)
35 - Work better when no 'ftw' is available, and check to see
36 if current uclibc provides ftw.
37 - Never use /etc/mdadm.conf if --config file is given (previously
38 some code used one, some used the other).
