[ANNOUNCE] Einarc - universal RAID management/monitoring tool - v1.2 released

[Mikhail Yakshin]

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce new release of Einarc project - an universal 
RAID management/monitoring tool.

Version 1.2 had almost half a year development cycle and sports the 
following new stuff:

     * Support for new RAID devices: newer Adaptec adapters using arcconf.

     * New objects “bbu” and “firmware” are introduced: now it’s 
possible to get information about BBU and read/write firmware to 
supported adapters.

     * More strict “adapter info” report: it outputs serial number and 
tries to pinpoint a particular adapter using PCI IDs, if possible.

     * Updates for existing devices:
           o aaccli: now it downloads and uses later, more acceptable 
version, not linked against arts library. Note, however, that 
Adaptec_Storage_Manager-Linux_v2.10.00 is a huge ~36M download.
           o areca: update to v1.80A_71012.
           o megacli: updated to v1.01.27.

     * Multiple stability, metadata and rare occurance fixes for all 
modules.

     * Improved build system.

     * “raid-wizard-passthrough” can be used to handle smaller groups of 
HDDs (not all available devices).

As always, I'd be really happy to hear any opinions / thoughts / feature 
requests on this project and I hope it would come useful to someone :)
