Release focus: Major feature enhancements Changes: A significant new feature is auto assembly, which causes mdadm to search for components of md arrays and assemble what it finds. This works in conjunction with a new --homehost option, which can tag arrays to tell which host they should be assembled on. Also, if no DEVICE list is given, "DEVICE partitions" is assumed. The configuration file can now provide a "mailfrom address". A copy of /proc/mdstat is included with email from --monitor mode. Assorted other updates were made.
in portage, thanks for the heads up
