Recent releases
- 19 Oct 2007 03:22
Changes: "--create --auto=mdp" was made to work for non-standard device names. Restarting of a "reshape" if it was stopped in the middle was fixed. A segfault when using v1 superblock was fixed. --write-mostly was made effective when re-adding a device to an array. Various minor fixes were made.
- 20 Aug 2007 05:18
Changes: Assorted minor bugs relating to RAID4, verison-1 metadata, option parsing, spare migration, and more were fixed.
- 21 May 2007 05:10
Changes: Various bugfixes were made. It is now possible to hot-add a drive to a linear array (this used to work but there were bugs which recent kernel changes have tripped over). A new "--auto-detect" mode was added, which is equivalent to the "raidautorun" that some distros include.
- 21 Feb 2007 23:39
Changes: Bugfixes were made for the --monitor and --grow options to better support RAID6. The documentation was updated and some compiler warnings were fixed.
- 08 Nov 2006 15:58
Changes: This release fixes a bug which meant that "bitmap=xxx" in mdadm.conf was not handled properly and a bug which caused an infinite loop when doing auto-assembly in certain cases in which arrays couldn't be assembled. The documentation has been updated.
