This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.2
Significant changes are:
-
mapfile now lives in a fixed location which default to
/dev/.mdadm/map but can be changed at compile time. This
location is
choses and most distros provide it during early
boot and preserve it
through. As long a /dev exists and is
writable, /dev/.mdadm will be
created.
Other files file communication with mdmon live here too.
This
fixes a bug reported by Debian and Gentoo users where
udev would spin in
early-boot.
- IMSM and DDF metadata will not be recognised on
partitions
as they should only be used on whole-disks.
-
Various overflows causes by 2G drives have been addressed.
- A
subarray of an IMSM contain can now be killed with
--kill-subarray.
Also subarrays can be renamed with
--update-subarray
- -If (or
--incremental --fail) can be used from udev to
fail and remove from
all arrays a device which has been
unplugged from the system. i.e.
hot-unplug-support.
- "mdadm /dev/mdX --re-add missing" will look for
any device
that looks like it should be a member of /dev/mdX but
isn't
and will automatically --re-add it
- Now compile with -Wextra
to get extra warnings.
- Lots of minor bug fixes, documentation
improvements, etcc
Please signoff both arches,
greetings
