Name        : mdadm
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 3.3
Release     : 7.fc20
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 two problems:

1) Improve error message when trying to use --grow -n<X> on a Linear array

2) Allow assembly of explicitly specified arrays, even if they are disabled in /etc/mdadm.conf

All users of mdadm are encouraged to upgrade


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Tue Jul 29 2014 Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen at redhat.com> - 3.3-7

  they were disabled in /etc/mdadm.conf

* Fri Jan 31 2014 Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen at redhat.com> - 3.3-6

* Thu Jan 30 2014 Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen at redhat.com> - 3.3-5

- Resolves bz1053176
