Topic

Updated dmraid packages that fix a bug are now available.

Description

DMRAID supports RAID device discovery, RAID set activation, and displays
properties for ATARAID on Linux 2.4 or 2.6 using Device-Mapper.

may have occurred:

ERROR: opening "sdb_isw.dat"
ERROR: opening "sdb_isw.size"

When prompted to confirm removal, a "Bus error" error occurred.

Users of dmraid are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
