Comment (by thomas):
I've the feeling that there has changed a bit more than just a few
bugfixes (mdassemble disappeared) and the changes should be somehow
tested. I've a machine with RAID5 volumes but its the main node (hosting
all the VMs and such things) so testing is not just an easy task like
building another LFS instance. But of course, if you want to upgrade right
now, just do it.
From time to time it happens that the array gets rebuilt when doing a
normal reboot (than, system is more or less unusable slow for 1.5-2h which
makes testing not really funny). After applying a patch (which prevents
mdadm from being killed while shutdown and the devices still in use) to
the LFS-bootscripts I sent months ago to the LFS-dev ML, its much better
but it still happens for whatever reason. With new mdadm I'd like to poke
around again in this field. That's the reason why the ticket remains open
but yes, thats independed of which version is in the book.
So, if you want to upgrade right now, go for it. Maybe a one-liner script
could be added to simulate a mdassemble for compatibility reasons (if it
would make sense).
