Package: mdadm
Version: 3.2.5-5
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
we have set up some of our servers with a small MD raidi1 consisting only
of one device, so we may later add an additional hard drive without
having to re-create the filesystem. On these servers, we sometimes get
checkarray error mails:
> Subject: Cron <root@backup> if [ -x /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray ] && [ $(date
> +%d) -le 7 ]; then /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray --cron --all --idle --quiet; fi

> renice: failed to get priority for 17571 (process ID): No such process
Apparently the md check runs so fast that when the scripts wants to renice it,
the process is no longer running. I've attached a patch that resolves the issue
by redirecting STDERR of renice/ionice to /dev/null.
