Package: raidtools2 Version: 1.00.3-17 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
Running raidreconf to add another disk to a RAID-5 aborts when almost being done with error message: raid5_map_global_to_local: disk 4 block out of range: 488098 (487840) gblock = 1464296 This happens if the disks are not 100% the same size. Due to differences in disk geometry even drives of the same size have different amounts of blocks. The array being modified with all data on it is lost. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF -8) Versions of packages raidtools2 depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.10 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii makedev 2.3.1-75 Creates device files in /dev -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
