  17 Release 2.6.5 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.4
  18
  19 Changelog Entries:
  20     -   Avoid segfault when parsing /proc/mdstat with auto-read-only
  21         arrays.
  22     -   Fix problem with failing to add devices to v.large (>4TB) arrays,
  23         cause by problems with device-size overflow.
  24     -   For v0.90 superblocks, print the 'Events' count as a real count,
  25         not 2 numbers separated by a dot.
  26     -   Updates some URLs in the man page.
  27     -   Allow creation of a RAID6 with exactly one missing device.
  28     -   Use LOG_PID for syslog, so you get the pid of mdadm in the log
  29         files.
  30     -   --export now works with --examine too (not just --detail)
  31     -   Improve auto-creation of device special file when using
  32         --incremental
  33     -   Simple locking for --incremental so mdadm doesn't get confused
  34         when run concurrently with itself.
  35     -   Make --incremental cope better with arrays that are being reshaped.
