yes, i have to correct myself (comment from 2008-07-31): it happened again.. but since i updated mdadm (several months ago), the issue is gone.. i did it the way Alan Jenkins described on 2008-07-29. i never did anything to the udev-rules or the raid-partitions -- mdam software raid fails to st

Hey everyone, I was having this exact same problem. At some point an older array was defined, and there were superblocks for md left on one (or more) of the partitions. Even if I zeroed them out (using sudo mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda1), the superblock came back after a reboot! It was very

It's a reasonable request. I just don't automatically expect it. I confess I'm impatient about bugfixes for programs I rely on in the early boot process :-). If you've found a solution that works for you, however strange it seems, then patience is probably a virtue. -- mdam software raid fails

another (strange) solution or workaround: it _seems_ like the problem is gone if i boot without the parameters "quiet usplash" !?! i modified my menu.lst, ran update-grub and since then the bug didn't occur once.. @ Alan Jenkins: if mdadm is buggy, shouldnt we expect an update via the repo w

At least the message spam is fixed in the latest (upstream) version of mdadm. I advise you upgrade; there's at least one segfault bug which I was hitting which has also been fixed. Strong precautions are obviously necessary for those of use with root filesystems on MD. I suggest making sure you

ok, its NOT solved for me too.. it happens to me every 2nd cold boot or so.. after 2-5 x "mdadm --stop /dev/md0" i get the array to work and can actually use the machine.. any chance to fix this??? anyone? is this bound to ubuntu or does it also happen to other distros? (tempted to try sidux)

I've also run into this. And there seems to be a fair number on the Ubuntu forums that have experienced it also. This bug can cause Ubuntu 8.04to hang (become completely unresponsive), presumably due to the logs getting filed with 'md: array md0 already has disks!' many times per second. Also, t

I just experienced this problem. Through the "md: array md0 already has disks!" error. Through the spam, if you wait 60s (or whatever the timeout is), you will be dropped to the initramfs shell. You can't see it though through the "already has disks" error 100 times per second. But, I typed 'md
