Package: dmraid Version: 1.0.0.rc16-8+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, on each Debian box with dmraid installed (here by suggestion from gparted), one gets a message at boot (from initrd stage): modprobe: module dm-raid45 not found in modules.dep it has been 15 years since the issue has been reported and it was told to patch the kernel with alpha code in Debian bug #411172 . (there was also a patch included in the debian package to translate raid-45 calls to raid456 which is in the Debian kernel but it is told not to work in htis bug report - was dmraid 1.0.0.rc14-1).
Is there any reason to ship an initramfs that request an out-of-tree module for all Debian users with dmraid installted ? May I request that the call to force_load dm-raid45 be removed for now and replaced by a force_load raid456 when support is implemented? This message is spurious and can cause confusion as a red herring that something is wrong when all is fine. dm-raid45 is not supported by Debian. And shipping code that has seen no update since 2009 in every dmraid install seems a bit dangerous either way. Users that install this dm-raid456 modules can add dm-raid45 into /etc/initramfs-tools/modules either way.
