I am pleased to announce the availability of mdadm version 2.5.4 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 2.5.4 is a bugfix release over 2.5.3 Changelog Entries: - When creating devices in /dev/md/ create matching symlinks from /dev. e.g. /dev/md0 -> /dev/md/0. Allow this to be disabled in mdadm.conf or on command line. - Fix some endian-ness issues with version-1 superblocks (affects bigendian only). - Fix endian problem with 'bitmap' metadata - Allow a number (of partitions) after the 'yes' option to --auto= This is particularly useful in the 'create' line in mdadm.conf. - Remove partitions from any whole device that is made part of an md array. This is a work-around for annoying messages when the first block on some drive accidentally looks like a partition table. Development of mdadm is sponsored by SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
