                   *** Announcement: dmraid 1.0.0-rc1 ***

    dmraid 1.0.0-rc1 available at http://people.redhat.com:/~heinzm/sw/dmraid/
    in source and i386 rpm.

    dmraid (Device-Mapper Raid tool) discovers, [de]activates and displays
    properties of software RAID sets (ie. ATARAID) and contained MSDOS
    partitions using the device-mapper runtime of the 2.6 kernel.

    The following ATARAID types are supported on Linux 2.6:

    Highpoint HPT37X
    Highpoint HPT45X
    Promise FastTrack
    Silicon Image Medley

    These ATARAID types can be discovered only in this version:
    Intel Software RAID
    LSI Logic MegaRAID

    Please provide insight to support those metadata formats completely.

    Thanks.

    See file README, which comes with the source tarball for prerequisites
    to run this software and further instructions on installing and using dmraid!

    Call for testers:
    -----------------

    I need testers with the above ATARAID types, to check that the mapping
    created by this tool is correct (see options "-t -ay") and access to the ATARAID
    data is proper.

    You can activate your ATARAID sets without danger of overwriting
    your metadata, because dmraid accesses it read-only unless you use
    option -E with -r in order to erase ATARAID metadata (see 'man dmraid')!

    This is a release candidate version so you want to have backups of your valuable
    data *and* you want to test accessing your data read-only first in order to
    make sure that the mapping is correct before you go for read-write access.

    The author is reachable at <Mauelshagen@RedHat.com>.

    For test results, mapping information, discussions, questions, patches,
    enhancement requests, free beer offers and the like, please subscribe and
    mail to <ataraid@redhat.com>.
