- update to 3.1.4
- Support --grow to change the layout of RAID4/5/6
- Support --grow to change the chunksize of raid 4/5/6
- Support --grow to change level from RAID1 -> RAID5 -> RAID6 and
back.
- Support --grow to reduce the number of devices in RAID4/5/6.
- Support restart of these grow options which assembling an array
which is partially grown.
- Assorted tests of this code, and of different RAID6 layouts.
- The default metadata is now v1.2
- The default chunksize is now 512K rather than 64K. This seems more
appropriate for modern devices.
- The default bitmap chunksize for internal bitmaps is now at least
64Meg as fine grained bitmaps tend to impact performance more for
little extra gain.
- Alway make bitmap 4K-aligned if at all possible.
- removed patches:
- bitmap-4k-boundary.patch (obsolete/upstream)
- fix-dup.patch (obsolete/upstream)
- IMSM-part.patch (obsolete/upstream)
- container-argv-check (obsolete/upstream) (forwarded request 51209 from oertel)
