Finally, I got an udev message: "no space left on device". The > device was not indicated and I've no device (disk) short of room... Sounds like udev creating lots of things in a ramdisk... How helpful are you feeling??? It would be really great if you could use 'git bisect' to isolate which change causes the problem. Debian doesn't add any significant patches to mainline mdadm, so you could git clone git://neil.brown.name/mdadm cd mdadm Then git bisect start mdadm-3.1.2 mdadm-3.1.1 make ; make install ; mkinitramfs ; reboot git bisect good OR git bisect bad and see where you end up. There are only 104 commits, so it should only take 7 iterations. Thanks, NeilBrown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
