==== mdadm ====
== storaged replaces udisks2 ==


The mdadm program controls Linux md devices (software RAID arrays). It can create, assemble, report on, and monitor arrays and can also move spares between raid arrays when needed.  
The `udisks2` package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems. Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.


  Old Version: 3.0.2 -> New Version: 3.1.1
Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by `storaged`, an enhanced fork of the udisks project.  `storaged` is a drop-in replacement for `udisks2`, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like `Cockpit` in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.
Most important changes are:
* Stopping a container is not permitted when members are still active
* Add 'homehost' to the valid words for the "AUTO" config file line.  When followed by "-all", this causes mdadm to auto-assemble any array belonging to this host, but not auto-assemble anything else.
* If mdadm.conf lists arrays which have inter-dependencies, the previously had to be listed in the "right" order. Now any order should work.
* --force assembly of v1.x arrays which are in the process of recovering
* Various command-line-option parsing improvements

* Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh that connects stdio on the client to a single port forward on the server.
* Added the ability to revoke keys in sshd(8) and ssh(1)
* Many improvements to the sftp(1) client

storaged replaces udisks2

The udisks2 package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems. Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.

Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by storaged, an enhanced fork of the udisks project. storaged is a drop-in replacement for udisks2, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like Cockpit in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.

Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .
