`- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
the english take english for granted.
but if we explore its paradoxes,
we find that quicksand can work slowly.
--- Begin Message ---
indeed /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray exits with an error message when it
encounters a redundant MD device in auto-read-only state. this state is
normal for assembled MD device which haven't yet been written to, such as
the swap area mentioned by Philipp Kern.
any write operation to the respective device would take it out of
auto-read-only (in my case it was a swapoff, mkswap, swapon which did the
trick), but one can't expect checkarray to figure out what sort of
write is safe on the device.
i think that checkarray should look for and skip any md device it finds in
the auto-read-only state.
hope this helps,
adc
