Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.2.5 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux I am somewhat disappointed to have to announce the availability of mdadm version 3.2.5 It is available at the usual places, now including github: countrycode=xx. http://www.${countrycode}kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/ and via git at git://github.com/neilbrown/mdadm git://neil.brown.name/mdadm http://neil.brown.name/git/mdadm This release primarily fixes a serious regression in 3.2.4. This regression does *not* cause any risk to data. It simply means that adding a device with "--add" would sometime fail when it should not. The fix also includes a couple of minor fixes such as making the "--layout=preserve" option to "--grow" work again. A reminder that the default location for runtime files is now "/run/mdadm". If you compile this for a distro that does not have "/run", you will need to compile with an alternate setting for MAP_DIR. e.g. make MAP_DIR=/var/run/mdadm or make MAP_DIR=/dev/.mdadm NeilBrown 18th May 2012
