Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2012-0433
2012-01-14 03:35:22
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mdadm
Product : Fedora 15
Version : 3.2.3
Release : 3.fc15
URL :
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
Summary : The mdadm program controls Linux md devices (software RAID arrays)
Description :
The mdadm program is used to create, manage, and monitor Linux MD (software
RAID) devices. As such, it provides similar functionality to the raidtools
package. However, mdadm is a single program, and it can perform
almost all functions without a configuration file, though a configuration
file can be used to help with some common tasks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This is an update to the mdadm package, based on the latest upstream release, mdadm-3.2.3,
which fixes a large number of bugs.
If your root device is located on an IMSM RAID, please make sure to rebuild your
initramfs, before rebooting the system.
