(Not in kernel.org yet at 1Nov2004) + - Support raid0/linear on devices > 2 Terabytes + - Make sure raid6 resyncs when created with one missing device + +Changes Prior to 1.7.0 release + - Support "--grow --add" to add a device to a linear array, if the + kernel supports it. Not documented yet. + - Restore support for uclibc which was broken recently. + - Several improvements to the output of --detail, including + reporting "resyncing" or "recovering" in the state. + - Close filedescriptor at end of --detail (exit would have closed it + anyway, so this isn't abig deal). + - Report "Sync checkpoint" in --examine output if appropriate. + - Add --update=resync for --assemble mode to for a resync when the + array is assembled. + - Add support for "raid10", which is under development in 2.6. + Not documented yet. + - --monitor now reads spare-group and spares info from config file + even when names of arrays to scan are given on the command line + +Changes Prior to 1.6.0 release + - Device name given in -Eb is determined by examining /dev rather + than assuming /dev/md%d + - Fix bug in --monitor where an array could be held open an so + could not be stopped without killing mdadm. + - Add --grow mode. Currently only --size and --raid-disks can be + changed. Both require kernel support which, at the time of + writing, is not in a release kernel yet. + - Don't print out "errors" or "no-errors" in -D and -E, as the bit + is never set or used. + - Use md event notification in 2.6.??? to make --monitor mode + respond instantly to events. + - Add --auto= option and auto= configfile entry to tell mdadm to + create device files as needed. This is particularly useful + with partitioned arrays where the major device number can change. + - When generating --brief listing, if the standard name doesn't + exist, search /dev for one rather than using a temp name. + - Allow --build to build raid1 and multipath arrays. + - Add "--assume-clean" for Create and Build, particularly for raid1 + Note: this is dangerous. Only use it if you are certain. + - Fix bug so that Rebuild status monitoring works again. + - Add "degraded" and "recovering" options to the "Status:" + entry for --detail + +Changes Prior to 1.5.0 release - new commands "mdassemble" which is a stripped-down equivalent of "mdadm -As", that can be compiled with dietlibc. Thanks to Luca Berra . @@ -323,4 +400,3 @@ Changes Prior to 0.5 release the --help output, is not wholy correct. After I get --follow working properly, I plan to revise the various documentation and/or the code to make sure the two match. -
