Einarc - universal RAID management/monitoring tool - v1.2 released

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce new release of Einarc project - an universal RAID management/monitoring tool.

Version 1.2 had almost half a year development cycle and sports the following new stuff:

* Support for new RAID devices: newer Adaptec adapters using arcconf.

* New objects “bbu” and “firmware” are introduced: now it’s
possible to get information about BBU and read/write firmware to supported adapters.

* More strict “adapter info” report: it outputs serial number and
tries to pinpoint a particular adapter using PCI IDs, if possible.

* Updates for existing devices:
o aaccli: now it downloads and uses later, more acceptable
version, not linked against arts library. Note, however, that Adaptec_Storage_Manager-Linux_v2.10.00 is a huge ~36M download.
o areca: update to v1.80A_71012.
o megacli: updated to v1.01.27.

* Multiple stability, metadata and rare occurance fixes for all
modules.

* Improved build system.

* “raid-wizard-passthrough” can be used to handle smaller groups of
HDDs (not all available devices).

As always, I'd be really happy to hear any opinions / thoughts / feature requests on this project and I hope it would come useful to someone :) Einarc can be reached at
