| Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.2.5 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux |
| |
| I am somewhat disappointed to have to announce the availability of |
| mdadm version 3.2.5 |
| |
| 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 primarily fixes a serious regression in 3.2.4. |
| This regression does *not* cause any risk to data. It simply |
| means that adding a device with "--add" would sometime fail |
| when it should not. |
| |
| The fix also includes a couple of minor fixes such as making |
| the "--layout=preserve" option to "--grow" work again. |
| |
| A reminder that the default location for runtime files is now |
| "/run/mdadm". If you compile this for a distro that does not |
| have "/run", you will need to compile with an alternate setting for |
| MAP_DIR. e.g. |
| make MAP_DIR=/var/run/mdadm |
| or |
| make MAP_DIR=/dev/.mdadm |
