Common can we get an updated version of mdadm in Ubuntu? This is a little ridiculous. There are a number of bugs with mdadm v2.6.7. This bug was filed against Ubuntu 8.10, I know I filed a similar bug against Ubuntu 9.04 when I was unable to replace a drive in a degraded RAID10 array-- that bug too was fixed in an later version of mdadm.
Using Ubuntu 10.04 now, I was in process of growing a 4 drive raid5 to 5 drives and power went out. When power returnsed I tried to assemble the array, mdadm segfaults. Tried a few things and it cannot be done. Get latest mdadm from git, v3.1.2, array started right up and works just great. I then go to file a bug to let whoever know only to find out this has been around since Ubuntu 8.10. Mdadm v2.6.7.X has problems! Argh. Its been at least a year and a half now with no fix. Fix meaning, update to a more recent version. Its such a trivial way fix, why NOT include it? Including a buggy version of mdadm really gives users a false sense of security. The entire point of running a raid array is to minimize downtime. Yet by including a buggy mdadm, it ends up causing more downtime than needed. ** Changed in: mdadm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- mdadm crashed with SIGSEGV in __libc_start_main() after grow interrupted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
