| Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.2.4 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
| |
| I am pleased to announce the availability of |
| mdadm version 3.2.4 |
| |
| It is available at the usual places, now including github: |
| countrycode=xx. |
| http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ |
| and via git at |
| git://github.com/neilbrown/mdadm |
| git://neil.brown.name/mdadm |
| http://neil.brown.name/git/mdadm |
| |
| This release is largely a bugfix release for the 3.2 series with many |
| minor fixes with little or no impact. |
| |
| "--oneline" log of changes is below. Some notable ones are: |
| |
| - --offroot argument to improve interactions between mdmon and initrd |
| - --prefer argument to select which /dev names to display in some |
| circumstances. |
| - relax restructions on when "--add" will be allowed |
| - Fix bug with adding write-intent-bitmap to active array |
| - Now defaults to "/run/mdadm" for storing run-time files. |
| |
| Upgrading is encouraged. |
| |
| The next mdadm release is expected to be 3.3 with a number of new |
| features. |
