Hi!

I was running MySQL InnoDB databases on mdadm RAID5 partition with XFS file system when I discovered that if /etc/cron.d/mdadm (checkarray) of this partition concurs with some database updates, database file is corrupted and needs some kind of recovery, which is not always simple.

This bug does reproduce on my server with, for example, on FeedOnFeeds database (server-side rss aggregator) when it's cronjob is updating rss feeds.

RAID array, though, does not degrade, and it seems that MyISAM (non-transactional) tables are OK even when checkarray concurs with database updates. So I suppose the data loss is caused by some sync/barrier issues... Is that so? And if so, what I'm supposed to do to get rid of this problem?
