Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mdadm
I've upgraded to edgy and just today-ish a new mdadm package came out.
I can't upgrade it, because /etc/init.d/mdadm-raid fails while trying to
stop /dev/md0 and /dev/md1. Trying to do a mdadm -S /dev/md0 fails as
well, even though it is not mounted and no processes (apparently) hold
it open - it fails with "Device or resource busy".
I tried to boot into singleuser, and the same thing happens. Booting
with init=/bin/bash left me at the initramfs, where it was indeed
possible to mdadm -S the arrays but it was not possible to upgrade mdadm
(as I did not have the root fs mounted)
For some reason booting with the "emergency" kernel option doesn't seem
to work anymore, it does a normal boot instead.
