| mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring |
| device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also |
| known as Software RAID arrays. |
| |
| Release 2.5.6 is a bugfix release over 2.5.5, which it turns out |
| wasn't the last before 2.6. Maybe this one? |
| |
| Changelog Entries: |
| - Fix bug which meant "bitmap=xxx" in mdadm.conf was not handled |
| properly. |
| - Documentation updates. |
| - Fix bug that caused infinite loop when doing auto-assembly, |
| in certain cases where arrays couldn't be assembled. |
| |
