I think that warning is a bit misleading/extreme. The damage only occurs if you bring up one disk degraded, *and* then the other disk degraded. In practice, this should never happen since usually someone would notice the degraded event and take action to restore the missing disk. The release notes should simply explain when the problem occurs, and warn people to be aware of it and watch out for it. Maybe something like this:
Activating a RAID1 array with only one disk, then activating the array with only the other disk, then finally returning to normal operation with both disks can cause the disks to be combined out of sync, leading to severe data loss. You should take care to make sure that this situation does not happen. -- array with conflicting changes is assembled with data corruption/silent loss https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
