Edit File: ANNOUNCE-3.2.2

Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.2.2 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux I am pleased to announce the availability of mdadm version 3.2.2 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/mdadm This release is largely a stablising release for the 3.2 series. Many of the changes just fix bugs introduces in 3.2 or 3.2.1. There are some new features. 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
