Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.2-7
Severity: normal
Hi,
on this system I installed mdadm but did not configure any RAID array
yet (let's say that I did not have time yet or that I am waiting for
additionnal disks). I received an e-mail from cron with this error
message:
checkarray: E: no kernel support for parity checks.
The /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray script looks for
/sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
to check if the kernel has support for parity checks. This test is not
the correct one if there is no active RAID array. Therefore I suggest
to add another test before this one to test the existence of any active
RAID array and exit silently if none is detected.

Description:
mdadm - tool to administer Linux MD device arrays (software RAID)
mdadm-udeb - tool to administer Linux MD device arrays (software RAID) (udeb)

Changes:
mdadm (2.5.2-8) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Re-added rootraiddoc.97.html which was mysteriously lost (closes: #378678).
* Catching modprobe error in case of absence of the kernel modules, or
a non-modular kernel. Thanks to Holger Levsen.
* Copy raid456 kernel module into initramfs, if present (closes: #380152).
* checkarray: check for presence of active RAID arrays and give an
appropriate error if there are none present (closes: #379019).
* checkarray: skip sync for RAID0 devices (closes: #379352, #380424).
* Fixing cron registration for checkarray. crontab(5) is really stupid and
makes me think that they simply documented a bug instead of fixing it, so
now I have to hack around it. See the cron.d file (closes: #380425).
* Removed the code writing auto-detected devices to /var, which was silly
since /var isn't necessarily mounted yet by the time mdadm-raid is called.
Thanks to Maurizio Avogadro for pointing this out.
* Add reference to BAARF to README.Debian and included the RAID5 vs RAID10
article from the BAARF website.
* Updated debconf translations:
- Japanese by Hideki Yamane, thanks!
- French by Florentin Duneau, thanks! (closes: #379511)
