Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.5.6 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux I am pleased to announce the availability of mdadm version 2.5.6 It is available at the usual places: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/ and countrycode=xx. http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ and via git at git://neil.brown.name/mdadm http://neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also known as Software RAID arrays. Release 2.5.6 is a bugfix release over 2.5.5, which it turns out wasn't the last before 2.6. Maybe this one? Changelog Entries: - Fix bug which meant "bitmap=xxx" in mdadm.conf was not handled properly. - Documentation updates. - Fix bug that caused infinite loop when doing auto-assembly, in certain cases where arrays couldn't be assembled. Development of mdadm is sponsored by SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. NeilBrown 6th November 2006
