Package: mdadm Version: 3.1.4-1+8efb9d1 User: [email protected] Usertag: run-transition
Hello, now where /run is established in unstable it would be great if mdadm could transit /dev/.mdadm as well as /lib/init/rw/.mdadm to /run (probably also to /run/mdadm instead of /run/.mdadm). See also http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory And while we are at it: are the /lib/init/rw/.mdadm sentinels really still necessary, or vice versa: is it really still necessary for mdadm-raid to generate uevents on its own? Below are udevadm monitor excerpts for a plain mdadm --assemble run vs. a mdadm-raid start run. They differ in one additional (IMHO) redundant add-event. Apparently, current kernels themselves generate those events, and the migration from initramfs to real-/ is handled by udev anyways. # mdadm -A /dev/md6 mdadm: /dev/md6 has been started with 2 drives (out of 3).
