Package: mdadm Version: 2.4.1-6 Severity: minor
I'd like to use the monitoring and some of the more advanced maintainance functions of mdadm in conjunction with arrays created and handled by EVMS. However: - the shipping configuration of mdadm tries to start all md arrays in the machine at startup and postinst, which includes arrays the user did not want started for any reason. This is especially bad if disks with (obsolete) RAID superblocks have just been added to the machine. This behaviour can be changed via debconf variable, however the questions are not shown at the default debconf priority, and after the install it is too late. - regardless of the AUTOSTART setting the init script tries to shutdown all arrays on "stop". IMO, if the script is told not to start arrays it shouldn't stop any, either. - (some of the other bug reports suggest initrd integration, though I couldn't find any in the package's files. I just hope this doesn't interfere with EVMS's initrd integration ... ) C. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mdadm depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-10 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii makedev 2.3.1-81 creates device files in /dev Versions of packages mdadm recommends: ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-tran 4.62-1 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon -- debconf information: * mdadm/autostart: false * mdadm/mail_to: root * mdadm/warning: * mdadm/start_daemon: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
