| known as Software RAID arrays. |
| |
| Release 2.6.2 adds a few minor bug fixes to 2.6.1 |
| |
| Changelog Entries: |
| - --fail detached and --remove faulty can be used to fail and |
| remove devices that are no longer physically present. |
| - --export option for --detail or present information in a format |
| that can be processed by udev. |
| - fix internal bitmap allocation problems with v1.1, v1.2 metadata. |
| - --help now goes to stdout so you can direct it to a pager. |
| - Various manpage updates. |
| - Make "--grow --add" for linear arrays really work. |
| - --auto-detect to trigger in-kernel autodetect. |
| - Make return code for "--detail --test" more reliable. Missing |
| devices as well as failed devices cause an error. |
