I installed the update on 4 basically identical systems (note to self: hostnames starting with g, k, r, w):
I enabled -proposed and installed the package: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-proposed.list sudo apt update sudo apt install mdadm=4.1-5ubuntu1.1 I tested the scrub on one system (hostname starts with k): # In another terminal: watch cat /proc/mdstat sudo systemctl start mdcheck_start.service & # This started the scrub. In ~20 minutes, the scrub completed and the service stopped ~1 min thereafter. (This makes sense given the "sleep 120" that the script uses.)

I will leave these systems as is. That will give us 4 examples of it, two of which were not touched in any special way at all (other than installing the update from -proposed, of course). However, if you want to mark this verification-done now, or ask me to do it, I am not opposed to that either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852747 Title: mdcheck_start.service trying to start unexisting file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1852747/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
