Public bug reported: Currently the mdadm package will install a checkraid crontab, that is the same on all installations. This is fine for a single installation, but in bigger (distributed) environments this hurts performance. E.g. having mysql clusters on softRaid all having their arrays checked at the same moment, causes problems with availability.
An solution would / could be to add an option that will allow the date- time to be randomized. Then this option / question can be used where appropriate, while still retaining the option to have the static configuration as a default. ** Affects: mdadm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: canonical-bootstack -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815201 Title: crontab is fixed on specific moment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1815201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
