| Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.1.4 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
| |
| I am pleased to announce the availability of |
| mdadm version 3.1.4 |
| |
| It is available at the usual places: |
| countrycode=xx. |
| http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ |
| and via git at |
| git://neil.brown.name/mdadm |
| http://neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm |
| |
| This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.3. |
| 3.1.3 had a couple of embarrasing regressions and a couple of other |
| issues surfaces which had easy fixes so I decided to make a 3.1.4 |
| release after all. |
| |
| 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 |
| - Fix spare migration |
| |
| This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to |
| upgrade to 3.1.4 |
| |
| It is expected that the next release will be 3.2 with a number of new |
| features. |
