Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.6.5 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux I am pleased to announce the availability of mdadm version 2.6.5 It is available at the usual places: 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 2.6.5 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.4 Changelog Entries: - Avoid segfault when parsing /proc/mdstat with auto-read-only arrays. - Fix problem with failing to add devices to v.large (>4TB) arrays, cause by problems with device-size overflow. - For v0.90 superblocks, print the 'Events' count as a real count, not 2 numbers separated by a dot. - Updates some URLs in the man page. - Allow creation of a RAID6 with exactly one missing device. - Use LOG_PID for syslog, so you get the pid of mdadm in the log files. - --export now works with --examine too (not just --detail) - Improve auto-creation of device special file when using --incremental - Simple locking for --incremental so mdadm doesn't get confused when run concurrently with itself. - Make --incremental cope better with arrays that are being reshaped. Development of mdadm is sponsored by SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. NeilBrown 15th May 2007
