mdadm - The mdadm program controls Linux md devices (software RAID arrays)

Website: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
License: GPLv2+
Vendor: Scientific Linux
Description:
The mdadm program is used to create, manage, and monitor Linux MD (software
RAID) devices.  As such, it provides similar functionality to the raidtools
package.  However, mdadm is a single program, and it can perform
almost all functions without a configuration file, though a configuration
file can be used to help with some common tasks.

Packages

mdadm-3.2.1-1.el6.x86_64 [305 KiB] Changelog by Doug Ledford (2011-03-28):
- Update to latest upstream release
- Don't report mismatch counts on either raid1 or raid10 devices
- Check both active and idle arrays during raid check runs
- Move raid-check script to /usr/sbin, add a crontab entry to /etc/cron.d
  and mark it config(noreplace) so that users can select their own
  raid check frequency and it will be preserved across updates
- Allow the raid check script to set both the cpu and io priority on the
  raid check process in an effort to minimize the impact to users on the
  system
