Description Peter Kerwien 2006-07-02 02:06:51 UTC

After upgrading two machines from mdadm 1.12.0 to 2.5-r1 they are starting to eat a lot of memory. There seems to be a memory leakage in 2.5 and I have read that it should be fixed in 2.5.1. Please mark mdadm 2.5.1 stable as soon as possible.

Comment 1 Peter Kerwien 2006-07-02 08:35:34 UTC

mdadm-2.5.2 has been released. Maybe better to try to stabilize this version as soon as possible.
