I use it on a daily basis and this is new to me. But $ busybox mkdir --parents a mkdir: unrecognized option `--parents' you are right. This seems to have been dropped from busybox since etch. There is no entry in the changelog though. mdadm in lenny already uses -p rather than the long options, so if you had upgraded mdadm as well, the problem wouldn't have happened. I agree that this is a problem we should fix in time for lenny, but I can't fix it in mdadm. Thus I am reassigning to busybox, which should support long options for mkdir in lenny, possibly mark them deprecated, and only remove them for lenny+1. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
