Title:
md trancates devices with kernel >=2.6.32-37-server
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
After updating the kernel to one >=2.6.32-37 our MD device decided to
show up as only a fraction of it's previous size.
With the previous kernel, md0 shows up (correctly) as 85681.66 GiB,
but with the newer kernel it shows up as only 8192.00 GiB - a serious
order of magnitude different! Needless to say, with the incorrect size
being reported/used, the md device is unusable and prevents access to
the partitions on it.

This is a major bug introduced on (what should be) a mature LTS
