Name        : mdadm
Product     : Fedora 18
Version     : 3.2.6
Release     : 7.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.

It fixes the following issues:

- Disallow creating a second IMSM RAID array size 0
- Disallow creating IMSM RAIDs that spans multiple controllers to avoid data corruption
- Assign mdmon to the systemd cgroup, if possible.
- Obsolete the mdadm-sysvinit package, as we no longer support booting using sysvinit scripts
- udev scripts where if an raid volume with one of the disks failing, the failed disk is still present in the volume and container. The raid volume stays is in normal state (should be degraded) and the rebuild cannot start.

All users of mdadm are advised to upgrade
