  12 device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
  13 known as Software RAID arrays.

  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.

  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.
