Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mdadm
Attempting to assemble an array using the command:
mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/mapper/raid5a /dev/mapper/raid5b
/dev/mapper/raid5c
produces the error message:
madam: no devices found for /dev/md0
The problem is that the Assemble routine in Assemble.c silently ignores
all devices for which "used" is nonzero. The "used" field is not
initialized, so whether or not the used field is non-zero depends on
what happens to be in memory. The above error message appears when the
"used" fields for all of the arguments are nonzero.
The patch below set the "used" fields to zero before the main loop is
entered for the first time, which appears to fix the problem.
