-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-11434 2009-11-12 00:32:25 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mdadm Product : Fedora 12 Version : 3.0.3 Release : 1.fc12 URL : http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ Summary : The mdadm program controls Linux md devices (software RAID arrays) Description : The mdadm program is used to create, manage, and monitor Linux MD (software RAID) devices. As such, it provides similar functionality to the raidtools package. However, mdadm is a single program, and it can perform almost all functions without a configuration file, though a configuration file can be used to help with some common tasks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes a number of issues found between F12 RC and GA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Nov 4 2009 Doug Ledford <[email protected]> - 3.0.3-1 - New upstream release 3.0.3 (bz523320, bz527281) - Update a couple internal patches - Drop a patch in that was in Neil's tree for 3.0.3 that we had pulled for immediate use to resolve a bug - Drop the endian patch because it no longer applied cleanly and all attempts to reproduce the original problem as reported in bz510605 failed, even up to and including downloading the specific package that was reported as failing in that bug and trying to reproduce with it on both ppc and ppc64 hardware and with both ppc and ppc64 versions on the 64bit hardware. Without a reproducer, it is impossible to determine if a rehashed patch to apply to this code would actually solve the problem, so remove the patch entirely since the original problem, as reported, was an easy to detect DOA issue where installing to a raid array was bound to fail on reboot and so we should be able to quickly and definitively tell if the problem resurfaces. - Update the mdmonitor init script for LSB compliance (bz527957) - Link from mdadm.static man page to mdadm man page (bz529314) - Fix a problem in the raid-check script (bz523000) - Fix the intel superblock handler so we can test on non-scsi block devices -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update mdadm' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
