| mdadm version 2.6.5 |
| |

| |
| mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring |
| device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also |
| known as Software RAID arrays. |
| |
| Release 2.6.5 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.4 |
| |
| Changelog Entries: |
| - Avoid segfault when parsing /proc/mdstat with auto-read-only |
| arrays. |
| - Fix problem with failing to add devices to v.large (>4TB) arrays, |
| cause by problems with device-size overflow. |
| - For v0.90 superblocks, print the 'Events' count as a real count, |
| not 2 numbers separated by a dot. |
| - Updates some URLs in the man page. |
| - Allow creation of a RAID6 with exactly one missing device. |
| - Use LOG_PID for syslog, so you get the pid of mdadm in the log |
| files. |
| - --export now works with --examine too (not just --detail) |
| - Improve auto-creation of device special file when using |
| --incremental |
| - Simple locking for --incremental so mdadm doesn't get confused |
| when run concurrently with itself. |
| - Make --incremental cope better with arrays that are being reshaped. |
| |
| Development of mdadm is sponsored by |
| SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. |
