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.

25 Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW:
