Subject: RELEASE: RAID-0,1,4,5 patch 1999.07.24 for 2.2.10 and 2.0.37


this release mainly fixes the (nonfatal but annoying) bugs discovered and
by Richard Bollinger <bollnger@usaor.net> and Egon Eckert
<egon@chance.cz>. There were other buglets in the same area which now
hopefully are all fixed. I've tested various disk-failure and hot-add
scenarios, no stuck inodes happened anymore.

raidtools includes a new switch to mkraid: --dangerous-no-resync. This new
switch enables experienced RAID-administrators to re-create (clean!) RAID
arrays without having an unnecessery resync. This feature was suggested by
Mike Black <mblack@csihq.com>.

[with this release we are also much more pre-2.2.11 merging-friendly, and
the LVM personality has been renamed to HSM - it's more accurate anyway.]

you can find the patches raid0145-19990724-2.0.37.gz,
raid0145-19990724-2.2.10.gz and raidtools-19990724-0.90.tar.gz in the
usual alpha directory:

[mirrors should have synced up by the time you receive this email]

Let me know if i've missed something - reports, suggestions welcome. 
enjoy,
