mdadm 2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-3ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

mdadm (2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-3ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
   * 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 (2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Patch by Jérémy Bobbio which completes the fix for #444682.

mdadm (2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Patch the routine loading v1 superblocks to fix a segfault on amd64
    (closes: #444682).

mdadm (2.6.3+200709292116+4450e59-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New merge from upstream @4450e59ffaf75623fa4261e244b0717a7463aa84
    - makes "--write-mostly" effective when re-adding a device to an array.
      (closes: #442874).
  * Do not call update-initramfs -k all, it can be set via
    /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf (closes: #439334).
  * Depend on udev|makedev instead of just makedev and invoke /dev/MAKEDEV,
    not /sbin/MAKEDEV (closes: #436998).
  * De-escalate the initramfs hook warning about an "emergency procedure" and
    simply note that this involves initramfs assembling arrays it finds
    automatically at boot. Also added a FAQ entry on how to turn off the init
    script warning when no arrays are found (closes: #434934).
  * Add --scan to the single-device-assembly-codepath in the initramfs
    local-top script; thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe for the patch
    (closes: #440703).
  * Use short option in initramfs script mkdir call, so make it klibc-utils
    compatible; thanks maximilian attems for the patch (closes: #443436).
  * Handle module name synonyms in initramfs hook script (closes: #432585).

mdadm (2.6.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix typos in md(4) manpage; thanks Jeroen (closes: #425576).
  * Make init script not report failure when there are no arrays defined in
    config file.
  * Add /usr/share/doc/mdadm/examples/newdisk, a script to integrate
    a replacement disk into an existing array with minimal effort; will remain
    in examples/ until I had a chance to really test and understand it. Thanks
    to Arno van Amersfoort (closes: #427880).
  * Does some sanity checking for proper format of level= arguments in
    mdadm.conf and bails if an error is found. Since the RAID levels are used
    verbatim as module names, a discrepancy might lead to an unusable system.
    Instead, we thus use the emergency fallback. Thanks to Andrew
    Sackville-West for spotting this and helping me with the fix.
