  15 mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
  16 device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
  17 known as Software RAID arrays.
  18
  19 Release 2.5.2 is primarily a bugfix release over 2.5.1.
  20 It also contains a work-around for a kernel bug which affects
  21 hot-adding to arrays with a version-1 superblock.
  22
  23 Changelog 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).
