It seems that there is a bug in mdadm: when generating the UUID for a
volume, the random() function is called, but the random sequence is never
initialized.
I fixed the problem adding the following patch to mdadm.c, but please bear
in mind that I'm totally unaware of mdadm code and quite naive
Package: mdadm
Version: 1.8.1-1
Severity: important
1.8.1 has a severe bug making all newly created RAID arrays get assigned
the same exact UUID, regardless og time or even what machine it runs on.
The UUID in question is "6b8b4567:327b23c6:643c9869:66334873", do a
google search on it, not very
2 matches
