According to Neil Brown, mdadm 1.8.1 is a development version (http://www.issociate.de/board/post/141215/Multipath_problem.html); he recommends 1.8.0. If this is indeed the case, we should definitely not be releasing sarge w/ this version. The severity of this bug is grave because the whole point of running w/ raid5 is so that if a drive fails, data can be recovered from the remaining 2 drives. Not being able to assemble the md device to recover such data is a bit of a show stopper.
I talked with Neil and he plans to release 1.9.0 in about one week. I think I will wait until then and package the new version.
Cheers, Mario
