Package: mdadm Version: 2.5.2-7 Severity: normal
Hi, on this system I installed mdadm but did not configure any RAID array yet (let's say that I did not have time yet or that I am waiting for additionnal disks). I received an e-mail from cron with this error message: checkarray: E: no kernel support for parity checks. The /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray script looks for /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action to check if the kernel has support for parity checks. This test is not the correct one if there is no active RAID array. Therefore I suggest to add another test before this one to test the existence of any active RAID array and exit silently if none is detected. -- Package-specific info: --- mount output [...] --- mdadm.conf DEVICE partitions MAILADDR root --- /proc/mdstat: Personalities : unused devices: <none> --- /proc/partitions: major minor #blocks name 8 0 117187500 sda 8 1 39062016 sda1 8 2 78124095 sda2 --- initrd.img-2.6.17-1-686: 24073 blocks lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/xor.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mirror.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/raid0.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/linear.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/raid1.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/raid10.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/raid5.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/dm-snapshot.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mod.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/multipath.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/raid6.ko lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/md/md-mod.ko scripts/local-top/mdadm conf/mdadm.conf sbin/mdadm --- /proc/modules: dm_mirror 18768 0 - Live 0xf0966000 dm_snapshot 15680 0 - Live 0xf096c000 dm_mod 49976 2 dm_mirror,dm_snapshot, Live 0xf099a000 --- volume detail: -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (100, 'unstable'), (99, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages mdadm depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.2 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.999.2-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-10 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii makedev 3.3.8.2-0 Creates device files in /dev Versions of packages mdadm recommends: ii ssmtp [mail-transport-agent] 2.61-7 extremely simple MTA to get mail o -- debconf information: * mdadm/start_daemon: true * mdadm/autocheck: true * mdadm/autostart: true mdadm/initrdstart: all * mdadm/warning: * mdadm/mail_to: root -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
