| Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 2.6.1 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
| |
| I am pleased to announce the availability of |
| mdadm version 2.6.1 |
| |
| It is available at the usual places: |
| http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/ |

| |
| mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring |
| device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also |
| known as Software RAID arrays. |
| |
| Release 2.6.1 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6 including improved |
| support for growing a RAID6 array. |
| |
| Changelog Entries: |
| - --monitor was producing some meaningless warnings due to a bug. |
| - Fix some compiler warnings. |
| - Fully support --grow for raid6. If a reshape crashed during the |
| critical period, mdadm wouldn't restore the Q information |
| properly. |
| - Update documentation for --grow. |
| |
| Development of mdadm is sponsored by |
| SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. |
