They are: + - reshaping IMSM (Intel metadata) arrays is no longer 'experimental', + it should work properly and be largely compatible with IMSM drivers in + other platforms. + - --assume-clean can be used with --grow --size to avoid resyncing the + new part of the array. This is only support with very new kernels. + - RAID0 arrays can have chunksize which is not a power of 2. This has been + supported in the kernel for a while but is only now supprted by + mdadm. + + - A new tool 'raid6check' is available which can check a RAID6 array, + or part of it, and report which device is most inconsistent with the + others if any stripe is inconsistent. This is still under development + and does not have a man page yet. If anyone tries it out and has any + questions or experience to report, they would be most welcome on + linux-raid@vger.kernel.org. + +Future releases in the 3.2 series will only be made if bugfixes are needed. +The next release to add features is expected to be 3.3. + +NeilBrown 17th June 2011 |
