Name        : mdadm
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 3.2.5
Release     : 3.fc17
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 is an update to the mdadm package, based on the latest upstream release, mdadm-3.2.5, which fixes a large number of bugs.

Fixes and enhancements include:
- Fix problem where reshape of RAID volume is broken after trying to stop all MD devices.
- Enhance raid-check to allow the adming to specify the max number of concurrent arrays to be checked at any given time.
- Fix uninstall script to remove dangling symlink to mdmonitor-takeover.service, if the mdadm package is uninstalled from the system.
- Fix bug in the upstream mdadm-3.2.4 release where --add would fail in common situations.
- Fix Monitor mode sometimes crashes when a resync completes
- Fix missing symlink for mdadm container device when incremental creates the array
- Make sure when creating a second array in a container that the second array uses all available space since leaving space for a third array is invalid
- Validate the number of imsm volumes per controller
- Fix issues with imsm arrays and disks larger than 2TB
- Add support for expanding imsm arrays/containers
- The support for expanding imsm arrays/containers was accepted upstream, update to the official patches from there
- Fix for the issue of --add not being very smart
- Fix an issue causing rebuilds to fail to restart on reboot (data corrupter level problem)
- Reset the bad flag on map file updates
- Correctly fix failure when trying to add internal bitmap to 1.0 arrays
- Fix bug where IMSM arrays stay inactive in case a reboot is performed during the reshape process.
- Fix issue when re-adding drive to a raid1 array with bitmap
- Fix bug in the handling of raid arrays using a bitmap, preventing the automatic re-add to the array of a temporarily disconnected drive.

All users of mdadm RAIDs are encouraged to upgrade.
