Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.0-devel-1 DEVELOPMENT RELEASE - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I am pleased to announce the availability of
|
||||
mdadm version 2.0-devel-1
|
||||
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 2.0-devel-1 is a development release that quit possible has
|
||||
bugs. It released in the hope of getting wider testing.
|
||||
It adds support for version-1 superblock which allow more that 28 devices
|
||||
in an array (among other things) and for bitmap-based-write-intent-logging
|
||||
which can improve resync speed after an unclean shutdown.
|
||||
|
||||
The bitmap logging requires patches which should be in the next -mm release
|
||||
after 2.6.11-rc4 and can be downloaded from
|
||||
http://neilb.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/patches/linux-devel/2.6/2005-02-18-00/
|
||||
which contains patches against 2.6.11-rc3-mm2.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW:
|
||||
The School of Computer Science and Engineering
|
||||
at
|
||||
The University of New South Wales
