[Bug 1550823] Re: checkarray doesn't work with sh = dash
Hi, I just ran into this. I am active on both the linux-raid mailing list, and on the #linux-raid IRC channel. We frequently get people in both places who have problems with their arrays, some of them is because of lack of frequent "scrubbing" to find read errors on the drives. This issue needs to be fixed before it turns into a huge disaster. The current default behaviour of checkarray cron is that it's run first sunday every month. This is a sensible default, but it's now broken in Ubuntu. Please fix this, before people start to lose data because checkarray isn't currently working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550823 Title: checkarray doesn't work with sh = dash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1550823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1550823] Re: checkarray doesn't work with sh = dash
I can confirm that checkarray is broken out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 16.04 due to this issue. So, periodic checks of the RAID array don't happen unless I do my own scheduling and avoid checkarray, or else repair checkarray itself using one of the workarounds here... I changed my checkarray script to explicitly use bash, but next time I upgrade this package, the changes will be lost unless this gets fixed... My change to use bash instead made checkarray start doing something useful... The suggest at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=787950 to use cat instead of read is a good one, and only a one-line change.

[Bug 1550823] Re: checkarray doesn't work with sh = dash
Shouldn't this be changed upstream in the Debian package? Checkarray is not part of the mdadm program whatsoever. It appears it was added into the Debian package several years ago by an outside source. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550823 Title: checkarray doesn't work with sh = dash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1550823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
