 1.9.1   Fix activation of existing RAID 4/10 mapped devices
 1.10.0  Add support for raid4/5/6 journal device
+1.10.1  Don't emit '- -' on the status table line in case the constructor
+        fails reading a superblock. Correctly emit 'maj:min1 maj:min2' and
+        'D' on the status line.  If '- -' is passed into the constructor, emit
+        '- -' on the table line and '-' as the status line health character.
