Bug Fixes

BZ#824815

While an Intel Matrix Storage Manager (IMSM) RAID volume was in the process of a reshape, an attempt to stop all arrays could cause an IMSM RAID array to be broken or corrupted. The underlying source code has been modified and mdadm works as expected in the described scenario.

BZ#862565

This update clarifies a number of mdadm license ambiguities.

BZ#878810

The IMSM optional ROM (OpROM) does not support RAID volumes across more than one controller. Previously, creating an IMSM RAID volume across more than one controller caused data loss. With this update, creating an IMSM RAID volume on multiple controllers is forbidden to prevent the data loss.

BZ#880208

Previously, it was possible to create a second RAID1 volume with the size equal to 0. As a consequence, when resyncing the first RAID1 volume was finished, the system became unresponsive. This update applies a patch to correct this error and it is no longer possible to create a second RAID1 volume with the size equal to 0.

BZ#880225

After turning off two disk drives of a RAID1 volume, using the "mdadm --detail" command caused mdadm to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This update applies a patch that fixes this bug. Using the "mdadm --detail" command now returns valid information and mdadm no longer crashes in the described scenario.

BZ#820643

This update fixes the map file location in mdadm(8) man page.
