Package: mdadm
Version: 3.1.4-1+8efb9d1
Severity: normal

My system has two md arrays, normally named md0 and md1. Each normally
has component devices:

/dev/md0: /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
/dev/md1: /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2

This evening I booted up with one drive missing (how I managed this
is a long story -- I am debugging a potential power supply problem
which may be the causes of SATA bus reset. I suppose it's possible
that some bus reset event actually caused some corrupt data somewhere,
but none were observed during this incident).

When I realised my mistake I shut down the system cleanly and then
started up with both drives present.

I expected to get both arrays starting in degraded mode. What I actually
got was four arrays, md0, md1, md126 and md127, all with one partition
each.

/dev/md0 was mounted as /, as per fstab. LVM had discovered /dev/md127
as its PV, and started using this.

I don't have a copy of the /proc/mdstat from then, but I did collect
the following output:

You can see the oddities in the update times of these, and also that
there are two pairs of md arrays with identical UUIDs.

Because I wanted to get back to a stable state ASAP, I then stopped the
two "bogus" arrays (md1 and md126, as it happened), zeroed the two
component devices and re-added them to other two arrays. Rebuilding
appeared to proceed as normal.

I realise that this may be very difficult to debug, but I thought it
was worth including as a bug report just in case.

Cheers,
Dominic.
