It turned + out there with boot-block issues with v1.1 which make it + unsuitable for a default, though in many cases it is still + suitable to use. + - Stopping a container is not permitted when members are still + active + - Add 'homehost' to the valid words for the "AUTO" config file + line. When followed by "-all", this causes mdadm to + auto-assemble any array belonging to this host, but not + auto-assemble anything else. + - Fix some bugs with "--grow --chunksize=" for changing chunksize. + - VAR_RUN can be easily changed at compile time just like ALT_RUN. + This gives distros more flexability in how to manage the + pid and sock files that mdmon needs. + - Various mdmon fixes + - Alway make bitmap 4K-aligned if at all possible. + - If mdadm.conf lists arrays which have inter-dependencies, + the previously had to be listed in the "right" order. Now + any order should work. + - Fix --force assembly of v1.x arrays which are in the process + of recovering. + - Add section on 'scrubbing' to 'md' man page. + - Various command-line-option parsing improvements. + - ... and lots of other bug fixes. + + +This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to +upgrade to 3.1.2 + +NeilBrown 10th March 2010 -- 2.39.2
