I am pleased to announce the availability of mdadm version 1.6.0 It is available at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/ and http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386. mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also known as Software RAID arrays. Release 1.6.0 adds: - --grow which (in 2.6.7-rc1-mm1 and hopefully 2.6.8) allows raid1/4/5/6 arrays to change the active size of the underlying devices, and allows raid1 arrays to change the number of active drives. - Allows --build to buld raid1 and multipath arrays. - adds "degraded" and "recovering" as possibilities for the status line in --detail - fixes a bug in 1.5.0 which stopped resync status messages from being generated in --monitor mode - Further support for partitionable arrays included "--auto=" option and "auto=" config file entry which instructs mdadm to create the necessary device files after allocating an unused array number. - assorted minor fixes and improvements. Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW: The School of Computer Science and Engineering at The University of New South Wales NeilBrown 4 Jun 2004 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
