Public bug reported: There was a change in mdadm to fix issue when md_mod is reloaded (not a case for ubuntu because md_mod is build-in). Commit: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git/commit/?id=52209d6ee1183581e148791cf6ee4d60a0193b1d
The fix prevents mdmonitor from occupying mdstat file descriptor in there is no any mddevice available. As a side effect mdmonitor cannot react on md events because it is waiting in undefined resource (probably 1 which in demonize mode case is /dev/null). When mdmonitor is started form command line and there was one mdmonitor already active, error message also is omitted, because error is thrown after forking. As a result, unexpectedly we may got same same issue after array creation. ** Affects: mdadm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887143 Title: mdmonitor closes mdstat fd if is empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1887143/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
