Package: hdparm
Version: 9.27-1
Severity: critical
File: /etc/init.d/hdparm
Hi,
when a raid is reshaping or resyncing the hdparm boot script
temporarily sets the speed to 0. But if the script then exits with an
error, for example because /etc/hdparm.conf lists a device that is not
present, the speed is not restored to its old value. That means that
the raid devices never finish reshaping or resyncing, which brings the
system in danger of data loss.
In my case I have a SATA Port Multiplier, last one I ever buy :), and
it seems that takes a while to work after a boot. Sometimes its disks
just aren't there fast enough during boot and for example the fsck run
fails. I'm guessing the hdparm script fails too and then the raid
speed remains at 0.
