Package: mdadm Version: 1.9.0-4 Severity: wishlist
can you pass this to upstream? thanks. mdadm returns to the shell immediately, and parsing /proc/mdstat in an infinite loop is the only way to make it block. please add an option to return control to the shell only when the arrays are regenerated. this is useful for using e.g. raid 1 as a reliable and accurate mirror in cron jobs. the raid system handles disk i/o very well without slowing down the system much. blocking is necessary to avoid having to check /proc/mdstat to see if the mirroring is done. thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11--from-2.6.9-proc-config-and-menuconfig Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages mdadm depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii makedev 2.3.1-77 creates device files in /dev -- debconf information: * mdadm/autostart: false * mdadm/warning: * mdadm/start_daemon: false mdadm/mail_to: root -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
