mdadm 1.12.0 released  15 June 2005, 09:55 UTC  Well, mdadm
1.12.0 is out now. You can find it at the usual places: or  It
seems that whenever I try to type 1.12.0, it comes out as
1.20.0! It happened twice while creating this article, and it
happened when I was creating the freshmeat announcement. I
noticed just after I clicked the final 'commit' button. I looked
around to see if there was any way to update a pending release,
and there wasn't. I guess that makes sense as I had already been
asked to check it.  Anyway, the mail went of out to mdadm-
subscribers telling them that 1.20.0 was released :-( But when
the daily fm-news came out, someone had corrected my blunder to
1.12.0 (I just mistyped it again!). Thankyou to freshmeat!  Now
to get stuck into a new release of mdadm 2.0-devel. I want to
add a '--hostid' option so that mdadm can determine if a given
array was create for "this" host, and can then automatically
assemble it safely.
