Description Michael Evans 2009-11-06 15:55:09 UTC

"About a week ago I released mdadm-3.1
I have now 'withdrawn' it meaning that it doesn't appear on the
kernel.org mirrors any more, and I ask people not to use it.

The reason is that it is not as reliable at managing a raid[56]
reshape as I thought and it can corrupt data too easily.

Marked as -* now, ebuild kept in the tree so people see the message on it.
