I would propose to move DAEMON_OPTIONS="--syslog" to the initscript so that we can forget about /etc/default/mdadm. The cronjob that will be removed soon is still a problem as it checks the arrays periodically # By default, run at 00:57 on every Sunday, but do nothing unless the day of # the month is less than or equal to 7. Thus, only run on the first Sunday of # each month. crontab(5) sucks, unfortunately, in this regard; therefore this # hack (see #380425). 57 0 * * 0 root if [ -x /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray ] && [ $(date +\%d) -le 7 ]; then /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray --cron --all --idle --quiet; fi There will be other cron jobs like this that will be susbtituted by systemd timers so we need to find how to handle this.
