Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

yesterday I created a new raid1 and after a reboot the kernel
complained about a broken superblock. I had to change the metadata
version back to 0.90 when creating the array for the kernel to accept
it. The manpage says 0.90 is the default so I first thought that was
out of date. Later I noticed that when I created the mdadm.conf a
while back a "CREATE ... metadata=1" lines got in there.

Below is a patch that adds a helpfull hint to the manpage that the
default might differ from 0.90 due to mdadm.conf.
