oracleasm-support 3.1.0 Release Notes
=====================================

* Inhibit overwriting active ASM disks
* Deprecate support for multiple driver instances
* Validate that io_uring is available
* Validate that the ASMLIB binary can be loaded
* Add -i option to querydisk to print detailed disk information
* Remove obsolete utilities and headers
* Clean up build infrastructure

oracleasm-support 3.0.0 Release Notes
=====================================

* Enhanced oracleasm tools to support UEK7+ kernels and ASMLib v3
* Enable tools to work with UEK7+ kernels that do not have oracleasm driver
* Maintain backward compatibility with older kernels that have oracleasm driver
* Added iofilter for UEK7+ kernels to protect accidental writes to ASM disks
  by admin commands like dd(1)
* oracleasm-configure: Added two new config parameters for the iofilter feature 
* Added a helper script for /usr/lib/oracleasm/oracleasm-discover that runs
  /usr/sbin/oracleasm-discover.
* Added man page for oracleasm-discover

oracleasm-support 2.1.3 Release Notes
=====================================

Fixes since 2.1.2
-----------------

 * ramdisks do not need partitions to be considered candidates.  They are
   now properly whitelisted.
 * The oracleasm update-driver-otn command had a problem matching some
   kernel drivers.  This is fixed.
 * Support for SLES11 is added to the vendor configuration.
   

oracleasm-support 2.1.2 Release Notes
=====================================

Fixes since 2.1.1
-----------------

 * oracleasm.init listed 'hwscan' under Required-Start:, though hwscan
   is not a part of all supported distributions.  oracleasm.init was
   updated to list it in Should-Start:.  This is Oracle bug #7590656.
 * In addition, the Required-Start: and Should-Start: lists were
   mirrored in Required-Stop: and Should-Stop: respectively.  This
   should satisfy all LSB-compliant systems.  
   

oracleasm-support 2.1.1 Release Notes
=====================================

Fixes since 2.1.0
-----------------

 * scandisks was not waiting properly for udev after triggering a
   re-read of disk partitions.  This is Oracle bug #7578508.


oracleasm-support 2.1.0 Release Notes
=====================================

Unchanged in 2.1.0
------------------

* The 2.1.0 release of oracleasm support is still compatible with the
  same drivers as the 2.0 version.

* The /etc/init.d/oracleasm script behaves exactly as before.  This
  should be a drop-in upgrade.

New in 2.1.0
------------

* There is a new '/usr/sbin/oracleasm' command that provides a much more
  flexible interface to the oracleasm support software.  oracleasm
  operations are subcommands for the 'oracleasm' program.  The
  /etc/init.d/oracleasm script now uses the 'oracleasm' program as well.
  All new features are accessed by using the new 'oracleasm' command.

* There is a new 'oracleasm update-driver' command that will try to
  download the latest Oracle ASMLib driver for a given kernel.  It can
  update multiple kernel versions at once.  If no version is specified,
  it will update the currently running kernel.  This supports drivers
  available via the Unbreakable Linux Network and on the Oracle
  Technology Network.

* The 'oracleasm querydisk' command adds the '-d' and '-p'
  options.  The '-d' option will display the device number of the
  queried disk.  The '-p' option will attempt to locate matching device
  paths if the blkid(8) tool is installed.

* The 'oracleasm deletedisk' command can delete a disk by device as well
  as by name.

* The 'oracleasm scandisks' command adds the '-s' option.  This option
  prevents a scan from re-reading the partition table of a device.  It
  is safer when scanning running disks, though it will not pick up
  partitioning changes.

* The 'oracleasm scandisks' command can now be given a list of disks
  to scan.  The administrator can use this to only scan specific disks,
  such as newly added ones.


oracleasm-support 2.0.3 Release Notes
=====================================

Fixes since 2.0.2
-----------------

 * scandisks was not seeing disk changes made on another node.


oracleasm-support 2.0.2 Release Notes
=====================================

Fixes since 2.0.1
-----------------

* The hotplug fix from 2.0.1 is extended.  Some devices require a longer
  wait time.


oracleasm-support 2.0.1 Release Notes
=====================================

Fixes since 2.0.1
-----------------

* Disk scans no longer race with the hotplug subsystem.  If a disk
  has not yet appeared in /dev, the disk scan will wait for it.

New in 2.0.1
------------

* Disk operations can now determine loopback, MD, and device-mapper
  devices.  This allows disk operations to safely access such devices,
  even though these devices do not support partitions.


oracleasm-support 2.0.0 Release Notes
=====================================

New in 2.0.0
------------

* The 2.0 version of oracleasm support is compatible with the
  2.0 ASMLib drivers for Linux 2.6 kerels and 1.0.4+ drivers for Linux
  2.4 kernels.  All systems should be using the 2.0 version of oracleasm
  support.
