Changes: Assorted minor bugs relating to RAID4, verison-1 metadata, option parsing, spare migration, and more were fixed.


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.

Changes: This release fixed a recent breakage of starting degraded arrays and included a few minor documentation updates.


Changes: Various compiler warnings fixes, various makefile fixes, and other fixes were made. The most significant fix is to remove a memory leak in --monitor mode that was introduced in 2.5.

Changes: Assorted bugs were fixed. The documentation was updated. A number of enhancements were backported from the Debian package. Handling of stacked md array and usage of udev should be improved.
