@ceg, @Jools Wills, I will love to help to solve this bug. For that I
need to know what the problem is. The summary says that the maps file
cant be created and thus it leads to loosing state, race, misconfig? If
there is an example for it, then I can get a better understanding of
what really is hap
Surbhi, you actually have an ubuntu system on raid installed and the mapfile is
carried over?
Then please state the exact version and details and say it works for you.
If not please leave the bug filed as it was, documenting a bug in the ubuntu
mdadm package.
** Changed in: mdadm (Ubuntu)
Please demonstrate to me where the map file created in initramfs is then
copied to the root filesystem so it is available for mdadm at that
stage. It isn't! I'm not going to play the game setting the bug to
confirmed/invalid back and forth.
to fix this you need to either copy the map file to the r
@Jools Will, 2.7.1, creates the map file in /var/run/ instead of
/var/run/mdadm as /var/run/mdadm is not found in the initramfs. However
/var/run is found in initramfs and so the map file should be created
fine. This is why I have marked the bug as Invalid. Current Ubuntu is
still at 2.7.1 Can you
I explained slightly wrong, since my memory was vague. The old mdadm
2.7.1 in ubuntu probably makes the map file ok, but it won't get carried
across onto the rootfs. mdadm 3.1.2 wanted to place the map file in a
different location and failed. my solution at the time was to change the
location, and
Why has this been set to incomplete? The initial explanation is quite
clear. /var/run doesn't exist at the initramfs stage and it will fail.
If you updated to a new mdadm, this will use /dev/.mdadm folder for the
map file - this exists throughout the initramfs and is carried over once
root is mount
@ceg, when /var/run/mdadm is not present, mdadm creates a map in
/var/run/. Please refer to man mdadm for more information (or
mapfile.c::map_read()/map_write() in mdadm code). Can you please explain
why this is causing a problem? Ideally it should not cause a problem.

this issue can be identified from the initramfs by checking the current
md devices. Only one of the disks in the array is active and incremental
adding fails with error, /dev/md/d0 device already exists.
one time workaround is to stop the existing array and manually assemble
the array without --in
