Package: mdadm
Version: 3.1.4-1+8efb9d1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The current wording relating to the --grow --size option is incorrect:
If this is not specified (as it normally is not) the
smallest drive (or partition) sets the size, though if there is a variance
among the
drives of greater than 1%, a warning is issued.
If one issues the --size option without a parameter, it throws an error. It
would seem
that the text should read:
One can specify the size as 'max' in order to use the size of the smallest
drive (or partition).
If there is a variance among the drives of greater than 1%, a warning is
issued.
BTW (I don't know if the 1% variance statement is true -- I've just keept that
from the previous text.
Cheers, Phil.
