-mdadm (3.2.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
-
- Metadata format change requires recent Grub
- The following only applies to users who want to let the grub-pc bootloader
- load the kernel directly off a RAID device created with mdadm 3.x and
- default values, or when the metadata version is explicitly set using -e.
-
- Specifically, this includes all arrays created during or after the
- installation of Debian squeeze (mdadm-3.1.4+8efb9d1). 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. An unbootable system may be
- rescued with Super Grub2 Disk (http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/)
- or grml (http://grml.org/).

-mdadm (3.1.4-1+8efb9d1) unstable; urgency=low
-
- Default metadata format for newly created arrays has changed from
- 0.90 to 1.2. 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.

-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). Thanks to Suse for the udev rules
- file.
-
- mdrun removed:
- This version also removes mdrun once and for all. If you are still using
- mdrun, please ensure that you have a valid /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file (run
- /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf --generate to get one), and run
-
- mdadm --assemble --scan --auto=yes

-mdadm (2.5.3.git200608201206-1) unstable; urgency=low
-
- This version makes mdadm.conf mandatory. If you do not have such a file, it
- will be created for you.
-
- You must verify the contents of this file and ensure that it represents your
- local configuration. See /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.upgrading-2.5.3.gz for
- more information.

-mdadm (2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
-
- mdrun has been (finally) obsoleted, and an appropriate warning message is
- written to the console if you (or a script) attempts to run it. If you
- cannot live without mdrun, you can disable the warning by setting
- USE_DEPRECATED_MDRUN=1 in /etc/default/mdadm. Note that mdrun will *not* be
- supported. Please also see /usr/share/doc/mdadm/README.mdrun .

-mdadm (2.4.1-5) unstable; urgency=low
-
- This version drops the automatic generation of the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
- file on every boot (if it was missing). This means that you need to ensure
- that you have a valid configuration file. If none is present during package
- configuration, mdadm *will* try to generate one, but it will only contain
- information about arrays that were running at the time of package
- configuration. Arrays not listed in the configuration file will *not* be
- started automatically after boot (with the exception of the root partition).
-
- If you want to recreate your configuration file, either figure out what it
- should contain from the mdadm.conf(5) manpage, or simply assemble and run
- all the arrays the way you like it, then run
- /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf force-generate /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

-mdadm (2.4.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
-
- As of version 2.3, mdadm uses /etc/mdadm.conf as its main configuration
- file, and falls back to /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf if the former is not found.
- Since Debian uses /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf as the configuration file path, this
- order was reverted: Debian's mdadm reads /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf as its main
- file and falls back to /etc/mdadm.conf if the former is not found.
-
- An incompatible change in the reshaping of RAID 5 arrays was made in this
- upstream release. If you want to reshape a RAID 5 array with a version-1
- superblock, please make sure to use mdadm 2.4.1 and at least a 2.6.17-rc2
- kernel.
