Upon checking for what had changed for mdadm 2.4 prior to merging it, I found 2.4.1 is already out, with an update that affects RAID-5 superblock v1 resizing. There are cautions not to use 2.4 for that purpose, so it's probably wise to replace 2.4 in the tree with 2.4.1, thus severity-normal, rather than the usual enhancement, for a bump. (I'd consider higher severity, only 2.4 is just out so few will have updated, and fewer still will use the affected functionality.) A simple rename/redigest of the 2.4 ebuild to 2.4.1 was all that was required. Duncan
in portage, thanks for the report
