I am pleased to announce the availability of mdadm version 2.6.3 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 2.6.3 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.2 Changelog Entries: - allow --write-behind to be set for --grow. - When adding new disk to an array, don't reserve so much bitmap space that the disk cannot store the required data. (Needed when 1.x array was created with older mdadm). - When adding a drive that was a little too small, we did not get the correct error message. - Make sure that if --assemble find an array in the critical region of a reshape, and cannot find the critical data to restart the reshape, it gives an error message. - Fix segfault with '--detail --export' and non-persistent superblocks. - Various manpage updates. - Improved 'raid4' support (--assemble, --monitor) - Option parsing fixes w.r.t -a - Interpret "--assemble --metadata=1" to allow any version 1.x metadata, and be more specific in the "metadata=" message printed with --examine --brief - Fix spare migration in --monitor. Development of mdadm is sponsored by SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
