mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
known as Software RAID arrays.
Release 2.5.4 is a bugfix release over 2.5.3
Changelog Entries:
- When creating devices in /dev/md/ create matching symlinks
from /dev. e.g. /dev/md0 -> /dev/md/0.
Allow this to be disabled in mdadm.conf or on command line.
- Fix some endian-ness issues with version-1 superblocks (affects
bigendian only).
- Fix endian problem with 'bitmap' metadata
- Allow a number (of partitions) after the 'yes' option to --auto=
This is particularly useful in the 'create' line in mdadm.conf.
- Remove partitions from any whole device that is made part of
an md array. This is a work-around for annoying messages
when the first block on some drive accidentally looks like a
partition table.
Development of mdadm is sponsored by
SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.
