-Subject:  ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.1 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
-
-Hot on the heals of 3.0.3 I am pleased to announce the availability of
-   mdadm version 3.1
-
-It is available at the usual places:
-   countrycode=xx.
-   http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
-and via git at
-   git://neil.brown.name/mdadm
-   http://neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm
-
-
-It contains significant feature enhancements over 3.0.x
-
-The brief change log is:
-   -    Support --grow to change the layout of RAID4/5/6
-   -    Support --grow to change the chunksize of raid 4/5/6
-   -    Support --grow to change level from RAID1 -> RAID5 -> RAID6 and
-        back.
-   -    Support --grow to reduce the number of devices in RAID4/5/6.
-   -    Support restart of these grow options which assembling an array 
-	which is partially grown.
-   -    Assorted tests of this code, and of different RAID6 layouts.
-
-Note that a 2.6.31 or later is needed to have access to these.
-Reducing devices in a RAID4/5/6 requires 2.6.32.
-Changing RAID5 to RAID1 requires 2.6.33.
-
-You should only upgrade if you need to use, or which to test, these
-features.

-This is a bugfix release over 3.1, which was withdrawn due to serious
-bugs.  So it might be best to ignore 3.1 and say that this is a significant
-feature release over 3.0.x
-
-Significant changes are:
-  - RAID level conversion between RAID1, RAID5, and RAID6 are
-    possible were the kernel supports it (2.6.32 at least)
-  - online chunksize and layout changing for RAID5 and RAID6
-    where the kernel supports it.
-  - reduce the number of devices in a RAID4/5/6 array.
-
-  - The default metadata is not v1.1.  This metadata is stored at the
-    start of the device so is safer in many ways but could interfere with
-    boot loaded.  The old default (0.90) is still available and fully
-    supported.
-
-  - The default chunksize is now 512K rather than 64K.  This seems more
-    appropriate for modern devices.
-
-  - The default bitmap chunksize for internal bitmaps is now at least
-    64Meg as fine grained bitmaps tend to impact performance more for
-    little extra gain.
-
-This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to
-upgrade to 3.1.1.

-
-This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.1.
-
-Significant changes are:
-  - The default metadata has change again (sorry about that).
-    It is now v1.2 and will hopefully stay that way.  It turned
-    out there with boot-block issues with v1.1 which make it 
-    unsuitable for a default, though in many cases it is still
-    suitable to use.
-  - Stopping a container is not permitted when members are still
-    active
-  - Add 'homehost' to the valid words for the "AUTO" config file
-    line.  When followed by "-all", this causes mdadm to
-    auto-assemble any array belonging to this host, but not
-    auto-assemble anything else.
-  - Fix some bugs with "--grow --chunksize=" for changing chunksize.
-  - VAR_RUN can be easily changed at compile time just like ALT_RUN.
-    This gives distros more flexability in how to manage the
-    pid and sock files that mdmon needs.
-  - Various mdmon fixes
-  - Alway make bitmap 4K-aligned if at all possible.
-  - If mdadm.conf lists arrays which have inter-dependencies,
-    the previously had to be listed in the "right" order.  Now
-    any order should work.
-  - Fix --force assembly of v1.x arrays which are in the process
-    of recovering.
-  - Add section on 'scrubbing' to 'md' man page.
-  - Various command-line-option parsing improvements.
-  - ... and lots of other bug fixes.

-This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.2
-
-Significant changes are:
-   -    mapfile now lives in a fixed location which default to
-        /dev/.mdadm/map but can be changed at compile time.  This
-	location is choses and most distros provide it during early
-	boot and preserve it through.  As long a /dev exists and is
-	writable, /dev/.mdadm will be created.
-	Other files file communication with mdmon live here too.
-	This fixes a bug reported by Debian and Gentoo users where
-	udev would spin in early-boot.
-   -    IMSM and DDF metadata will not be recognised on partitions
-        as they should only be used on whole-disks.
-   -    Various overflows causes by 2G drives have been addressed.
-   -    A subarray of an IMSM contain can now be killed with
-        --kill-subarray.  Also subarrays can be renamed with
-	--update-subarray
-   -    -If (or --incremental --fail) can be used  from udev to
-        fail and remove from all arrays a device which has been
-	unplugged from the system.  i.e. hot-unplug-support.
-   -    "mdadm /dev/mdX --re-add missing" will look for any device
-        that looks like it should be a member of /dev/mdX but isn't
-	and will automatically --re-add it
-   -    Now compile with -Wextra to get extra warnings.
-   -    Lots of minor bug fixes, documentation improvements, etcc
-
-This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to
-upgrade to 3.1.3
-
-It is expected that the next release will be 3.2 with a number of new
-features.  3.1.4 will only happen if important bugs show up before 3.2
-is stable.

-This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.3.
-3.1.3 had a couple of embarrasing regressions and a couple of other
-issues surfaces which had easy fixes so I decided to make a 3.1.4
-release after all.
-
-Two fixes related to configs that aren't using udev:
-   - Don't remove md devices which 'standard' names on --stop
-   - Allow dev_open to work on read-only /dev
-And fixed regressions:
-   - Allow --incremental to add spares to an array
-   - Accept --no-degraded as a deprecated option rather than
-            throwing an error
-   - Return correct success status when --incrmental assembling 
-     a container which does not yet have enough devices.
-   - Don't link mdadm with pthreads, only mdmon needs it.
-   - Fix compiler warning due to bad use of snprintf
-   - Fix spare migration
-
-This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to
-upgrade to 3.1.4
-
-It is expected that the next release will be 3.2 with a number of new

-This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.4.  It contains all the
-important bugfixes found while working on 3.2 and 3.2.1.  It will be
-the last 3.1.x release - 3.2.1 is expected to be released in a few days.
-
-Changes include:
-  - Fixes for v1.x metadata on big-endian machines.
-  - man page improvements
-  - Improve '--detail --export' when run on partitions of an md array.
-  - Fix regression with removing 'failed' or 'detached' devices.
-  - Fixes for "--assemble --force" in various unusual cases.
-  - Allow '-Y' to mean --export.  This was documented but not implemented.
-  - Various fixed for handling 'ddf' metadata.  This is now more reliable
-    but could benefit from more interoperability testing.
-  - Correctly list subarrays of a container in "--detail" output.
-  - Improve checks on whether the requested number of devices is supported
-    by the metadata - both for --create and --grow.
-  - Don't remove partitions from a device that is being included in an
-    array until we are fully committed to including it.
-  - Allow "--assemble --update=no-bitmap" so an array with a corrupt
-    bitmap can still be assembled.
-  - Don't allow --add to succeed if it looks like a "--re-add" is probably
-    wanted, but cannot succeed.  This avoids inadvertently turning
-    devices into spares when an array is failed.
-
-This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to
-upgrade to 3.1.5
