Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.1.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am pleased to announce the availability of
|
|
mdadm version 1.1.0
|
|
It is available at
|
|
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
|
|
and
|
|
http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/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 1.1.0 contains a number of spell corrections, and bug fixes.
|
|
It has improved support for MULTIPATH arrays.
|
|
It has some new features including:
|
|
--daemonise for use with --monitor
|
|
--config=partitions to find devices by examining /proc/partitions
|
|
--update=super-minor to change the recorded minor-number for an array
|
|
|
|
Much of the improvements are due to user feed-back. Thanks are due to all who
|
|
gave suggestions and reported problems.
|
|
|
|
I expect the next major release to be 2.0.0 which will include support for
|
|
a new super-block format soon to be supported by 2.5 series kernels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW:
