Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.79
The mkinitramfs script invokes the mdadm hook in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/. The hook, in turn, invokes the mdadm
script called mkconf, located at /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf.
The mkconf script calls `mdadm -Escpartitions`, which can produce
incorrect results in certain situations. These incorrect results,
incorporated into an initramfs that needs to mount RAID, could cause the
system to not boot. See Debian bug #386315 for more information.
If you're short on time, scroll down to my addendum to that bug report
from Sat, 09 Sep 2006 14:32:31 -0400. It shows the output of `mdadm
-Escpartitions` with two /dev/md0 devices and no /dev/md2 device.
My work-around was to run mkinitramfs with -k, which tells mkinitramfs
to keep the temporary files. Then, I changed the mdadm.conf in the
temporary directory to the correct configuration and recreated the
initramfs image by following the cpio and gzip steps near the end of the
mkinitramfs script.
This is certainly not something a novice would be able to do, so I
advise finding an alternative to `mdadm -Escpartitions` soon.

Version: 2.5.4-1
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Debian mdadm maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Description:
mdadm - tool to administer Linux MD arrays (software RAID)
mdadm-udeb - tool to administer Linux MD arrays (software RAID) (udeb)
Closes: 385726 385951 386315 388172
Changes:
mdadm (2.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release:
- --examine now reports chunk size also for RAID6 and RAID10
- fix endianness issues with v1 superblocks (closes: #385726) and bitmap
metadata.
- improved message when mdadm detects similar superblocks
(closes: #385951).
- documents that the automatic update of the super-minor field in the
superblock when using a 2.6 kernel only applies to RAID levels 1 and
higher. RAID0 array superblocks must be manually updated
(closes: #386315, #388172).
- removes partition table from any whole device added to an array.
- allow --auto=yes to specify a number; if mdadm determines from the
device name that you want a partitionable array, this number determines
the number of sub-device nodes to create.
* Removed patch previously used to fix #385951 because it's not adequate.
See the bug log for reasons.
