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
|

|
|
|
|
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
|
