It contains all the +important bugfixes found while working on 3.2 and 3.2.1. It will be +the last 3.1.x release - 3.2.1 is expected to be released in a few days. + +Changes include: + - Fixes for v1.x metadata on big-endian machines. + - man page improvements + - Improve '--detail --export' when run on partitions of an md array. + - Fix regression with removing 'failed' or 'detached' devices. + - Fixes for "--assemble --force" in various unusual cases. + - Allow '-Y' to mean --export. This was documented but not implemented. + - Various fixed for handling 'ddf' metadata. This is now more reliable + but could benefit from more interoperability testing. + - Correctly list subarrays of a container in "--detail" output. + - Improve checks on whether the requested number of devices is supported + by the metadata - both for --create and --grow. + - Don't remove partitions from a device that is being included in an + array until we are fully committed to including it. + - Allow "--assemble --update=no-bitmap" so an array with a corrupt + bitmap can still be assembled. + - Don't allow --add to succeed if it looks like a "--re-add" is probably + wanted, but cannot succeed. This avoids inadvertently turning + devices into spares when an array is failed. + +This release is believed to be stable and you should feel free to +upgrade to 3.1.5 + + +NeilBrown 23rd March 2011 + -- cgit v1.2.3
