Hi!

Andre Noll schrieb:
sorry if this is already known/fixed: Assemble() is called from mdadm.c with
the "update" argument equal to NULL:

        Assemble(ss, array_list->devname, mdfd, array_list, configfile,
                NULL, readonly, runstop, NULL, verbose-quiet, force);

But in Assemble.c we have

        if (ident->uuid_set && (!update && strcmp(update, "uuid")!= 0) && ...

which yields a segfault in glibc's strcmp().

I just found the same problem after upgrading to mdadm-2.2
The logic to test for update not being NULL seems to be
reversed.

I created a small patch which seems to cure the problem
(see attached file)

Is that right now? Because && evaluates to zero or one left to right, the parens and the "!=0" are not needed, and I assume they're in for a reason (other than to make the code hard to understand). A comment before that if would make the intention clear, I originally though the "(!update" was intended to be "!(update" which would explain the parens, but that seems wrong.

If it actually works as intended with the patch, perhaps a comment and cleanup in 2.3?
