Package: raidtools2
Version: 0.90.990824-5
Severity: Wishlist
I submitted a separate bug
(http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=61227)
against the sysvinit package recommending that invocations of "swapon"
be wrapped by a test to make sure that swapping was not started while a
RAID set was being resynchronized at boot time. If that happens and a
swap area is defined on RAID, a kernel panic is certain and filesystem
corruption is likely. I recommended putting something like this around
"swapon" in /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh and /etc/init.d/mountall.sh:
if [ ! -e /proc/mdstat ] || \
[ `grep -ci resync /proc/mdstat` -eq 0 ] ; then
swapon -a 2> /dev/null
fi
Assuming that other bug is addressed by in the sysvinit package in this
or a similar way by not invoking "swapon" if a resynchronization is in
progress at boot, it would then be desirable for the raidtools2 package
to have some means available of restarting swapping once
resynchronization is completed. This might mean running some sort of
daemon, probably out of /etc/init.d/raid2, that would be started if a
resynchronization was in progress at boot time and which waited until
all resynchronizations were completed before starting swapping.

The raidtools2 package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/298968 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
