From b83f8fcaffa542498c5698a3a161b9967ac1d3d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dimitri John Ledkov Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2016 19:16:01 +0100 Subject: mdadm (3.4-2) unstable; urgency=low * Reneable incremental assembly * Rely on udev to assemble incremental arrays * In environments with systemd rely on mdadm-last-resort@.timer|.service units to activate degrated raids * In environments initramfs-tools initrd (no systemd) add local-block script to do the same after 2/3rds of root delay iteration * Drop local-top initramfs script * Drop dependency on initscripts package * Drop INITRDSTART support * Drop mdadm-raid init script * Drop ancient preinst * In mdadm.init remove dependency on mdadm-raid * In mdadm.init check, and bail out running in a container * In mdadm.config drop mdadm/autostart logic * Drop CREATE stanzas from mkconf and don't include them in the initramfs. The generated defaults, are the compiled-in defaults. And the current one generates warnings when running mdadm in the initramfs, as there is no passwd|group files to resolve root/disk uid/gid. Closes: 717609 * Adapt changes and formatting of initramfs hook from Ubuntu * Bump standards version to 3.9.7, no changes required * Fix copyright-refers-to-symlink-license * Closes: #781172, #796624, #769201, #813335, #632401, #804973, #714155, #770002, #737132, #675452, #726390, #813637, #814036. # imported from the archive --- ANNOUNCE-3.1.3 | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 46 insertions(+) create mode 100644 ANNOUNCE-3.1.3 (limited to 'ANNOUNCE-3.1.3') diff --git a/ANNOUNCE-3.1.3 b/ANNOUNCE-3.1.3 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..95b2b6c1 --- /dev/null +++ b/ANNOUNCE-3.1.3 @@ -0,0 +1,46 @@ +Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.1.3 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux + +I am pleased to announce the availability of + mdadm version 3.1.3 + +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?p=mdadm + +This is a bugfix/stability release over 3.1.2 + +Significant changes are: + - mapfile now lives in a fixed location which default to + /dev/.mdadm/map but can be changed at compile time.
