ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.1.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux

[Neil Brown]

I am pleased to announce the availability of 
   mdadm version 1.1.0
It is available at
   http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
and
   http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/utils/raid/mdadm/

as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386.

mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
known as Software RAID arrays.

Release 1.1.0 contains a number of spell corrections, and bug fixes.
It has improved support for MULTIPATH arrays.
It has some new features including:
  --daemonise   	for use with --monitor
  --config=partitions   to find devices by examining /proc/partitions
  --update=super-minor  to change the recorded minor-number for an array

Much of the improvements are due to user feed-back.  Thanks are due to all who 
gave suggestions and reported problems.

I expect the next major release to be 2.0.0 which will include support for 
a new super-block format soon to be supported by 2.5 series kernels.


Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW: 
  The School of Computer Science and Engineering
at
  The University of New South Wales

	I'm afraid it's the fourth year. 2000 was the first year of the 
third millenium. 2001 was the second year. So 2002 was the third 
year. Sorry.

First year was year 0001, not 0000. So he may be right.

	The millenium officially starts at '01, not '00 - Neil was
	accurate.
