Just a note for #12. Your change to sendsigs is broken, at least for mint 18. The process mdmon will not be found. It is actually /sbin/mdadm --monitor ....
I set OMITPIDS to OMITPIDS=`pidof /sbin/mdadm` When using pidof the full path of the executable should be specified. Your second sed expression gives off an error for me. I just made this change and have to wait 4 hrs for my resync to finish before I can reboot to test. I will repost the results. I have done a lot of research on this and mdmon is the issue. It must NOT be killed during a shutdown according to it's own docs. #1. Edit /etc/init.d/sendsigs (to prevent mdmon from being killed on shutdown): # OMITPIDS=`pidof mdmon | sed -e 's/ /,/g' -e 's/./-o \0'` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320402 Title: mdadm resyncs imsm raid in "Normal" state To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1320402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
