Name : mdadm
Product : Fedora 15
Version : 3.2.3
Release : 6.fc15
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.
This update fixes two minor bugs.
All users of mdadm RAIDs are encouraged to upgrade.
This is an update to the mdadm package.
This update fixes a problem where raids using bitmaps would fail to add some of the devices in the raid, due to mdadm attempting to write to a mis-aligned buffer using O_DIRECT.
In addition it contains the mdadm portion of the fixes needed to unroll mounts back to the initramfs, in be able to reboot when the root devices is on an IMSM raid. Note this change requires corresponding updates to systemd and dracut to resolve the unroll reboot problem.
If your root device is located on an IMSM RAID, please make sure to rebuild your initramfs, before rebooting the system.
All users of mdadm RAIDs are encouraged to upgrade.
