mdadm 2.6.2-1ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

mdadm (2.6.2-1ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable:
    - various Debian and Ubuntu changes dropped in favour of the changes
      outlined below.

  * md activation:
    - We now have a single udev rule for both the real system and the
      initramfs, since doing things differently there will only result in bugs
      and confusion.
    - This rule runs "mdadm --assemble --scan --no-degraded", automatically
      activating any non-degraded device as their components are detected.
    - Drop the mdadm-raid init script, since this does the same thing.
    - Also drop mdadm-startall which uses the mdadm-raid init script, and its
      associated sgml file (thus dropping the build-dep on docbook-to-man)
    - Simplify the configuration, since we always autostart all devices so do
      not need to specify any required root devices, etc.
    - Drop the deprecated mdrun entirely.
    - Since udev autostarts arrays, much of the initramfs script can be
      dropped.

  * Install a new udev rule at 65 which runs vol_id on clean raid arrays.
    This will cause lvm, etc. to be run (since there is vol_id information
    present for the enclosed filesystem).

  * Depend on initramfs-tools, specifically a version that doesn't ship
    the mdrun script.  This way we can clean out a lot of the upgrade handling
    from the initramfs hook.
  * Just get initramfs to load the modules for us

mdadm (2.6.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - new options --fail detach and --remove faulty can be used to fail and
      remove devices that are no longer physically present (closes: #416512).
    - --help output now goes to stdout (closes: #416653).
    - plenty of manpage fixes, thanks Peter Samuelson (closes: #414688).
  * Incorporated patch by Mikko Rasa to fix detecting of raid6 (and raid10)
    devices with --scan (closes: #421915).

mdadm (2.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Release to unstable.
  * Start arrays read-only in initramfs to prevent syncing and hence enable
    resuming/freezing. The arrays will automatically sync as soon something
    writes to it; thanks to Tim Dijkstra, Neil Brown, and Luis Rodrigo
    Gallardo Cruz (closes: #415441).
  * mkconf now tries to preserve existing values for DEVICE, CREATE and
    HOMEHOST (in addition to MAILADDR, which it preserved previously already).
    PROGRAM is preserved but only added to mdadm.conf if it occured in the
    previously existing configuration file.
  * startall is now mdadm-startall and lives in /sbin, thanks to Eduard Bloch.
    It now can handle existing mdadm.conf files much more gracefully, mostly
    thanks to the above mkconf enhancements (closes: #415336).

mdadm (2.6.1-1~exp.5) experimental; urgency=low

  * Fix mdadm.conf typo; thanks Tim Phipps (closes: #416626).
  * Execute udevtrigger after assembly of arrays during initramfs processing;
    thanks to Michael Prokop (closes: #416658).

mdadm (2.6.1-1~exp.4) experimental; urgency=low

  * Incorporate patches by Peter Samuelson fixing several typography as well
    as typesetting issues in the manpages. Thanks a lot! (closes: #414688)

mdadm (2.6.1-1~exp.3) experimental; urgency=low

  * Patch by Jørn V. Christensen to properly handle multiple email addresses
    for the MAILADDR setting (closes: #413330).

mdadm (2.6.1-1~exp.2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Galician by Jacobo Tarrio (closes: #412203).

mdadm (2.6.1-1~exp.1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release, targeted at experimental until etch is out:
    - adds --syslog option (closes: #402457).
    - now can --wait for sync activity to finish (closes: #328197).
    - for other changes, please see /usr/share/doc/mdadm/changelog.gz
  * Updated debconf translations:
    - Portuguese by Rui Branco (closes: #411745).

mdadm (2.5.6-9) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * More logcheck filters to prevent redundant information logged by mdadm
    --syslog.
  * Improved mdadm-raid init script to correctly output status information for
    drives that are initialising or adding spares.

mdadm (2.5.6-8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Hard-code path to /sbin/mdadm binary rather than searching the $PATH. This
    closes: #403307 and should be a little more robust in the presence of
    installations of mdadm in /usr/local.
  * Made the bugscript a little more failure-resilient.
  * Added more documentation.
