Package: evms-2.5.2-1.sarge2
Version: 2.5.2-1
Severity: important

When expanding a RAID5 device using evmsn (ncurses gui) it eats up all the 
memory and the process
gets killed by the kernel, leaving the RAID5 array corrupt.

Has been tested on this server and in vmware to make sure it's wasn't hardware 
related, i fixed this 
by doing the following:

- remove all sarge evms related packages and delete config files
- add sources for debian etch (testing in /etc/apt/sources.list)
- apt-get install libncurses5-dev libglib1.2-dev uuid-dev libglib2.0-dev
- apt-get source evms
- cd evms-2.5.5
- ./configure --with-static-glib --disable-gui --disable-ntfs
- make all
- make install
- ldconfig

So using the patched version from Etch resolved this issue, now running self 
compiled evms-2.5.5-18
and hoping it would remain stable.

And good luck with the Etch release, looking forward to it
