Package: mdadm
Version: 2.6.7.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

When an array is grown and the grow is interrupted, mdadm is unable to reassemble the array, preventing the reshape from completing and denying access to the stored data.

I had a 5-disk RAID 6 array that I wanted to grow, so:

# mdadm --add /dev/md2 /dev/sdg2
# mdadm --grow /dev/md2 --raid-devices=6

The reshape began and passed the critical section without incident. Later, I needed to shut off the system. It was unbootable when I returned. (/dev/md2 is used with LVM and contains the root filesystem.) Booting into a Lenny RC1 rescue console, mdadm would refuse to assemble md2, saying "superblock on <first component> doesn't match others".

I believe this is fixed by a particular upstream commit, already included in 2.6.8:
  6e9eac4f089a44e9091967a3e6198aeae7e845a3

Regardless, I compiled a 2.6.8 binary and copied it to to the rescue environment. The same assemble command succeed with the new build, and the array resumed the reshape operation from where it left off.
