annunaki2k2, the next step is to fully commit bisect from Ubuntu kernel 2.6.32-36 to 2.6.32-37, in order to identify the offending commit. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?
** Description changed: - After updating the to kernel 2.6.32-40-server (from 2.6.32-33-server), - our MD device decided to show up as only a fraction of it's previous - size. + 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.
