Package: mdadm
Version: 1.9.0-1
Severity: important
File: /sbin/mdrun
Justification: renders package unusable for D-I 2.6
Hi,
there is a problem with mdrun assuming devfs style names in
/proc/partitions when devfs support is available. With current 2.6.x
kernels the /proc/partitions file lists the standard names even with
devfs mounted. Subsequently mdrun will probe /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2,
... for raid superblocks and silently fail each time.
There are two easy ways out:
1. create any (missing?) device node (temporary?)
2. find a matching node in the /dev tree, warn if non found
(create node when AUTOCREATE is set?)
Note that leaving a /dev/sda under devfs will make the D-I partitioner
show both /dev/scsi/... and /dev/sda, showing the drive twice.
