Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.1.2 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
|
|
|
|
I am pleased to announce the availability of
|
|
mdadm version 3.1.2
|
|
|
|
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 3.1.1.
|
|
|
|
Significant changes are:
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to
|
|
upgrade to 3.1.2
