  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.

  17 Release 2.0-devel-1 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   The bitmap logging requires patches which should be in the next -mm release
  24   after 2.6.11-rc4 and can be downloaded from
  25     http://neilb.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/patches/linux-devel/2.6/2005-02-18-00/
  26   which contains patches against 2.6.11-rc3-mm2.
