I am pleased to announce the availability of mdadm version 2.5.2 It is available at the usual places: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/ and 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 2.5.2 is primarily a bugfix release over 2.5.1. It also contains a work-around for a kernel bug which affects hot-adding to arrays with a version-1 superblock. Changelog Entries: - Fix problem with compiling with gcc-2 compilers - Fix compile problem of post-incrmenting a variable in a macro arg. - Stop map_dev from returning [0:0], as that breaks things. - Add 'Array Slot' line to --examine for version-1 superblocks to make it a bit easier to see what is happening. - Work around bug in --add handling for version-1 superblocks in 2.6.17 (and prior). - Make -assemble a bit more resilient to finding strange information in superblocks. - Don't claim newly added spares are InSync!! (don't know why that code was ever in there) - Work better when no 'ftw' is available, and check to see if current uclibc provides ftw. - Never use /etc/mdadm.conf if --config file is given (previously some code used one, some used the other). Development of mdadm is sponsored by SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
