No. I don't plan releases until about a week before they happen. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to work on mdadm lately. Maybe next month. > if i start to use it now, could I upgrade it when the release will arrive ? Yes, definitely. > Is it enough safe to use it ? Hard to say. I have done some testing so I believe it basically works, but there are almost certainly some bugs still in there. Until it gets widely used it will be hard to know for sure. I think it quite unlikely that the bugs would result in loss of data, though they may result in a hang or a crash or something like that I can only suggest you try it and see - but have backups of important data. If you run into any problem I will certainly do whatever I can to sort them out. NeilBrown > > thank you for your time > > Mathieu
