| Changes Prior to release 3.1.4 |
| Two fixes related to configs that aren't using udev: |
| - Don't remove md devices which 'standard' names on --stop |
| - Allow dev_open to work on read-only /dev |
| And fixed regressions: |
| - Allow --incremental to add spares to an array |
| - Accept --no-degraded as a deprecated option rather than |
| throwing an error |
| - Return correct success status when --incrmental assembling |
| a container which does not yet have enough devices. |
| - Don't link mdadm with pthreads, only mdmon needs it. |
| - Fix compiler warning due to bad use of snprintf |
| |
| Changes Prior to release 3.1.3 |
| - mapfile now lives in a fixed location which default to |
| /dev/.mdadm/map but can be changed at compile time. This |
| location is choses and most distros provide it during early |
| boot and preserve it through. As long a /dev exists and is |
| writable, /dev/.mdadm will be created. |
| Other files file communication with mdmon live here too. |
| This fixes a bug reported by Debian and Gentoo users where |
| udev would spin in early-boot. |
| - IMSM and DDF metadata will not be recognised on partitions |
| as they should only be used on whole-disks. |
| - Various overflows causes by 2G drives have been addressed. |
| - A subarray of an IMSM contain can now be killed with |
| --kill-subarray. Also subarrays can be renamed with |
| --update-subarray |
| - -If (or --incremental --fail) can be used from udev to |
| fail and remove from all arrays a device which has been |
| unplugged from the system. i.e. hot-unplug-support. |
| - "mdadm /dev/mdX --re-add missing" will look for any device |
| that looks like it should be a member of /dev/mdX but isn't |
| and will automatically --re-add it |
| - Now compile with -Wextra to get extra warnings. |
| - Lots of minor bug fixes, documentation improvements, etcc |
| |
| Changes Prior to release 3.1.2 |
| - The default metadata has change again (sorry about that). |
| It is now v1.2 and will hopefully stay that way. It turned |
| out there with boot-block issues with v1.1 which make it |
| unsuitable for a default, though in many cases it is still |
| suitable to use. |
| - Stopping a container is not permitted when members are still |
| active |
| - Add 'homehost' to the valid words for the "AUTO" config file |
| line. When followed by "-all", this causes mdadm to |
| auto-assemble any array belonging to this host, but not |
| auto-assemble anything else. |
| - Fix some bugs with "--grow --chunksize=" for changing chunksize. |
| - VAR_RUN can be easily changed at compile time just like ALT_RUN. |
| This gives distros more flexability in how to manage the |
| pid and sock files that mdmon needs. |
| - Various mdmon fixes |
| - Alway make bitmap 4K-aligned if at all possible. |
| - If mdadm.conf lists arrays which have inter-dependencies, |
| the previously had to be listed in the "right" order. Now |
| any order should work. |
| - Fix --force assembly of v1.x arrays which are in the process |
| of recovering. |
| - Add section on 'scrubbing' to 'md' man page. |
| - Various command-line-option parsing improvements. |
| - ... and lots of other bug fixes. |
| |
| Changes Prior to release 3.1.1 |
| - Multiple fixes for new --grow levels including fixes for |
| serious data corruption problems. |
| - Change default metadata to v1.1 |
| - Change default chunk size to 512K |
| - Change default bitmap chunk size to 64Meg |
| - When --re-add is used, don't fall back to |
| --add if --re-add fails as this can destroy data. |
| |
| Changes Prior to release 3.1 |
| - Support --grow to change the layout of RAID4/5/6 |
| - Support --grow to change the chunksize of raid 4/5/6 |
| - Support --grow to change level from RAID1 -> RAID5 -> RAID6 and |
| back. |
| - Support --grow to reduce the number of devices in RAID4/5/6. |
| - Support restart of these grow options which assembling an array |
| which is partially grown. |
| - Assorted tests of this code, and of different RAID6 layouts. |
| |
| Changes Prior to release 3.0.3 |
| - Improvements for creating arrays giving just a name, like 'foo', |
| rather than the full '/dev/md/foo'. |
| - Improvements for assembling member arrays of containers. |
| - Improvements to test suite |
| - Add option to change increment for RebuildNN messages reported |
| by "mdadm --monitor" |
| - Improvements to mdmon 'hand-over' from initrd to final root. |
| - Handle merging of devices that have left an IMSM array and are |
| being re-incorporated. |
| - Add missing space in "--detail --brief" output. |
| |
| Changes Prior to release 3.0.2 |
| - Fix crash when hosthost is not set, as often happens in |
| early boot. |
| |
| Changes Prior to release 3.0.1 |
| - Fix various segfaults |
| - Fixed for --examine with containers |
| - Lots of other little fixes. |
| |
| Changes Prior to release 3.0 |
| - Support for externally managed metadata, specifically DDF and IMSM. |
| - Depend on udev to create entries in /dev, rather than creating them |
| ourselves. |
| - remove --auto-update-home-hosts |
| - new config file line "auto" |
| - new "<ignore>" and "any" options for "homehost" |
| - numerous bug fixes and minor enhancements. |
