* Allow --update=devicesize with --re-addNeilBrown2010-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | This is useful with 1.1 and 1.2 metadata to update the metadata if the device size has changed. The same functionality can be achieved by writing to the device size in sysfs after re-adding normally, but in some cases this might be easier. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

| * mdadm.8: man page improvements concerning reshape and metadata types.John Robinson2010-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - other differences between 0.90 and 1.x metadata explained - reshape text enhanced to properly acknowledge shrinks and in-place reshapes, particularly in the context of --backup-file. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* | Assemble: allow an array undergoing reshape to be started without backup fileNeilBrown2010-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Though not having the proper backup file can cause data corruption, it is not enough to justify not being able to start the array at all. So allow "--invalid-backup" to be specified which says "just continue even if a backup cannot be restored". Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* | Assemble: add --update=no-bitmapNeilBrown2010-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows an array with a corrupt internal bitmap to be assembled without the bitmap. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* | Allow K,M,G suffix on chunk sizes as well as device/array sizes.NeilBrown2010-11-30
|/ | | | | | | | | | We already allow K,M,G suffixes for --size and --array-size. Allow it for --chunk and --bitmap-chunk as well. Also add this info to man page, and remove the duplication of info about --array-size. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* | Add support for "--re-add missing"NeilBrown2010-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the device name "missing" is given for --re-add, then mdadm will attempt to find any device which should be a member of the array but currently isn't and will --re-add it to the array. This can be useful if a device disappeared due to a cabling problem, and was then re-connected. The appropriate sequence would be mdadm /dev/mdX --fail detached mdadm /dev/mdX --remove detached mdadm /dev/mdX --re-add missing Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* | Add -fail support to --incrementalNeilBrown2010-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This can be used for hot-unplug. When a device has been remove, udev can call mdadm --incremental --fail sda and mdadm will find the array holding sda and remove sda from the array.

* | Correct documentation for --rebuild-mapNeilBrown2010-06-30
|/ | | | | | | | | | In some places it is referred to as "--rebuild", and while that works due to getopt allowing prefixes, it could appear confusing (rebuild means other things too) and being explicit is some safeguard if we want to add e.g. --rebuild-foo later.

* Compile-time switch to enable 0.9 metadata as defaultmartin f. krafft2010-05-31
This commit introduces DEFAULT_OLD_METADATA as a preprocessor definition. If defined, it causes mdadm to assume metadata version 0.9 as default. If not defined, version 1.x (currently 1.2) is used as default. The man page mdadm.8 is also modified to reflect the chosen default. The selftests will not work if the old default is chosen. This patch was requested by Debian so they could distribute a current mdadm together with boot loaders that only understand 0.90 metadata for md-raid. Preferred usage is simply make DEFAULT_OLD_METADATA=yes Signed-off-by: martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
