Name        : mdadm
Product     : Fedora 18
Version     : 3.2.6
Release     : 1.fc18
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, upgrading it to the latest upstream stable release: 3.2.6.

Some changes provided by this update:

- Add an abrt script which automatically retrieves the output of /proc/mdstat in case of a segfault in any of the binaries included in this package.
- Remove obsolete package requirements for udev and initscripts
- Clarifies some issues around licenses in the source code files.

All users of mdadm are encouraged to upgrade.
