ANNOUNCE: mdadm 3.0.1 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux

[Neil Brown]

I am pleased to announce the availability of
   mdadm version 3.0.1

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 contains only minor bug fixes over 3.0.  If you are using
3.0, you could consider upgrading.

The brief change log is:
   -    Fix various segfaults
   -    Fixed for --examine with containers
   -    Lots of other little fixes.

If you use that new kernel, how about updating kernel-headers
to match your kernel?  SYS_tgkill comes from linux headers.

that's all fine except it does not show
version of kernel headers installed on
your system.  Or the "counterpart" from
the glibc.

 	Is there a Kernel provided tool to determine what versions of each are 
in place on a system ?
