Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mdadm
When running /sbin/mdrun i get the following error (mdrun is
automatically called on startup in /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid):
# /sbin/mdrun
/sbin/mdrun: eval: line 104: syntax error near unexpected token `then'

line 104 of /sbin/mdrun:

$CREATECMD is populated in line 98:

The problem is the device size. Between the minor number and the size of
the device are for devices < 1TB at least 2 spaces. The sed regular
expression expects these 2 spaces. When changing the regexp to:
CREATECMD=$(sed -e "s/.*major.*//; s/.*\ \([:0-9:]\+\)\ \+\
\([:0-9:]\+\)\ \+[:0-9:]\+\ \+\([:a-z0-9\/:]\+\).*/if [ ! -b \3 ]; then
mknod \3 b \1 \2; fi ; / ; s/\//_/g" < /proc/partitions)
the script works as expected.
