Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.4-pre1 - development release for testing only
|
||||
|
||||
I am somewhat cautious in announcing the availability of
|
||||
mdadm version 2.4-pre1
|
||||
|
||||
It is available at the usual places:
|
||||
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
|
||||
and
|
||||
http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
|
||||
|
||||
pre-release 2.4-pre1 contains support for growing a raid5 array i.e.
|
||||
adding extra drives and restriping the whole arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
This requires a kernel more recent than 2.6.16-rc6-mm2.
|
||||
|
||||
During a restripe, there is a crtical section at the start where a
|
||||
system crash can leave the contents of the raid5 unrecoverable. This
|
||||
version of mdadm will backup that section, and can restore it when
|
||||
reassembling the array after a crash.
|
||||
|
||||
Have fun, but use it carefully and report any problems.
