Name        : mdadm
Product     : Fedora 11
Version     : 3.0
Release     : 1.fc11
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 update includes a fix for the mentioned but, but also updates mdadm to the
final 3.0 version from upstream.  There are differences in how mdadm-3.0-1 and
mdadm-3.0-0.devel3 handled determination of device names.  Users are strongly
encouraged to make sure that if they want an array to have a specific name, that
the array be listed in /etc/mdadm.conf with an appropriate ARRAY entry.  Users
may also wish to recreate their initrd images and reboot after the update to
ensure that this mdadm update will work fine in their given configuration when
future kernel updates result in a new initrd image being generated.
