I think I ran into this. Have an 11.04 system, set up ways unknown. sdc1 and sdd1 were mirrored via mdadm, and sdd failed. I replaced it with an identical drive, fdisked it, and was told that it was too small when I tried to add it back into the array. fdisk -l /dev/sdc output: Disk /dev/sdc:

Christian: We use metadata version 1.1 by default as of Natty. You're right that it's generally a much better design. However, this is not easily backportable, at least not to Lucid, because we only added support for 1.x superblocks to GRUB in Maverick. -- You received this bug notification
