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
