  • Added support for splitting the parity in multiple partitions. You
    can now specify multiple files for a single parity. As soon a file
    cannot grow anymore, the next one starts growing.
    In the configuration file, just put more files in the same 'parity'
    line, separated by , (comma).
    Note that if this feature is used, the saved content file won't be
    read by older SnapRAID versions.
    In Windows, 256 MB are left free in each disk to avoid the warning
    about full disks.
  • Added a new 'hashsize' configuration option. It could be useful in
    systems with low memory, to reduce the memory usage.
    Note that if this feature is used, the saved content file won't be
    read by older SnapRAID versions.
  • In Linux added the missing support for Btrfs file-systems. Note that
    to have full support you need also the 'libblkid' library, otherwise
    you won't get the UUIDs.
  • In screen messages don't print the disk directory in file path. You
    can control the format with the test option:
    --test-fmt file|disk|path.
  • In Windows allows to use the escape char '^' to handle file patterns
    containing real characters matching the globbing '*?[]' ones. In Unix
    it was already possible to do the same escaping with ''.
  • Added a new -R, --force-realloc option to reallocate all the
    parity information keeping the precomputed hash.
    This is the previous -F, --force-full that instead now maintains the
    same parity organization and just recomputes it.
  • Added test options for selecting the file advise mode to use:
    --test-io-advise-none for standard mode
    --test-io-advise-sequential advise sequential access (Linux/Windows)
    --test-io-advise-flush flush cache after every operation (Linux)
    --test-io-advise-flush-window flush cache every 8 MB (Linux)
    --test-io-advise-discard discard cache after every operation (Linux)
    --test-io-advise-discard-window discard cache every 8 MB (Linux)
    --test-io-advise-direct use direct/unbuffered mode (Linux/Windows)
    The new default mode is 'flush' in Linux (before it was 'sequential'),
    and 'sequential' in Windows (like before).
  • For Seagate SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) ignore the SMART
    attribute Command_Timeout 188 as not reliable.
  • Fixed running in Windows platforms that miss the RtlGenRandom()
    function.
  • Added the --test-io-cache=1 option to disable the multi-thread IO
    mode.
