Package: mdadm Version: 3.0.3-2 Severity: normal When upgrading one of my systems from lenny to squeeze, I was confronted to a very strange message in all update-initramfs calls, asking me to update my mdadm.conf so that my RAID volume is usable at boot time.
This was surprising since the mdadm.conf was already here. It turned out that the UUID detected by mdadm had changed between lenny and squeeze. Which pretty much defeats the point of an UUID! The original UUID was "9f7c3f20:73a6e4da:6edb20b8:0abfba2a". I had to change it to "9f7c3f20:73a6e4da:3998e195:148949b1" - see my mdadm.conf below. I don’t think it would have been a serious issue on my system, since this is not a boot partition, but I suspect it could make some systems unbootable. -- Package-specific info: --- mount output /dev/sda1 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime) tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sdb1 on /home type reiserfs (rw,relatime) /dev/md0 on /stock type reiserfs (rw,relatime) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,size=1200m) rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw) /dev/hdb on /media/Bokura no type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1004,gid=1004,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500) --- mdadm.conf # mdadm.conf # # Please refer to mdadm.conf(5) for information about this file. # # by default, scan all partitions (/proc/partitions) for MD superblocks. # alternatively, specify devices to scan, using wildcards if desired.
