mdadm version 4.6 Released

An update has been released for mdadm, the essential utility for administering software RAID configurations on Linux systems. The new version, identified as 4.6, focuses on resolving issues related to the system boot process, as well as introducing a new lockless bitmap to improve the management of RAID volumes.

This update is particularly relevant for those using software RAID solutions in on-premise environments, where system stability and reliability are crucial. Fixing boot problems ensures that mdadm-based systems can restart correctly after a power outage or a planned restart.
