Recommended update for mdadm
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for mdadm
This collective update for mdadm provides the following
features:
* Add md_monitor 4.16 (FATE#313624), with fixes
included from bnc#787826, bnc#770885, bnc#789202,
bnc#787819 and bnc#789535
In addition, the following changes for issue reports are
included:
* allow --incremental mode to add an old device as a
spare if policy permits (bnc#773010)
* allow IMSM arrays to be assembled even if platform
information is not visible (bnc#785581)
* mkinitrd-boot.sh: If multipath is in use, md is
always on top of it. Therefore, the root is always an md
device (bnc#786526)
* fix SIGSEGV when there is an error during --create
(bnc#766368)
* fix up device reporting in --monitor mode
* select the correct device when sending a "FailSpare"
event (bnc#764916)
* report the "timeout" flag set by the kernel
(bnc#763402)
* enhance "mdadm --detail" to report which "set" each
device in a RAID10 is a member of, in case where that makes
sense
* allow devices to be re-added to a failed array. Thus
if both legs of a RAID1/RAID0 are removed, it is still
possible to put one back (bnc#746717)
