Package: mdadm
Version: 3.1.4-1+8efb9d1
Tags: patch
I found that during my lenny->squeeze upgrade, I was not able to
configure mdadm. See the transcript below.
The problem seems to be that:
* My md devices were all already set up
* Therefore madm --assemble --auto does nothing and exits 2
* Therefore /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid also exits 2
I was able to fix this with the patch below.
Thanks,
Ian.
