Arrays created with + older mdadm versions, and RAIDs created with the command-line option + -e 0.9 are not affected. + + Versions of grub-pc older than 1.98+20100720-1 will not be able to boot + directly off a RAID with the 1.x metadata formats (the new default is 1.2). + To ensure a bootable system, please make sure to use grub-pc 1.98+20100720-1 + or later, which is provided by Debian squeeze.

Location of the superblock is now 4Kb from the start + of the device, instead of at the end of the device for 0.90. + The change from 0.9 to 1.x lifted many restrictions of the old + metadata format, and change in location (from end to 4k after + start for 1.2) reduced chances to confuse a raid array with + filesystem inside it. It is now less easy to mount a component + device as separate filesystem by incident, thus destroying the + array. + + Also, chunk size by default is 512K (was 64K) and bitmap chunk size + is 64Mb. + + -- Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Sat, 10 Sep 2011 13:35:12 +0400 + +mdadm (2.6.7-2) unstable; urgency=low + + /dev/disk symlinks: + mdadm now creates symlinks in /dev/disk/by-id, using the template + md-uuid-* for the array UUIDs and md-name-* for any names assigned to + arrays (version-1 superblocks only).
