I'm testing the changes now and will upload after that. It would be
great if we can start a conversation with debian if they can take some
of our patches as it seems to be a pretty large delta and e.g. the
degrated support is something that they probably want as well.

Jools,
I am trying to sort this out, and another similar thread came to life

effort?
It seems like it would be better for our cause (and admittedly any pre-
I'm used the mdadm packages for i386/amd64 directly from debian/squeeze
without problems in 10.04 and 10.10. I think it's time for Canonical to
move. But this is not a problem for me anymore. I changend my
distribution to debian/squeeze after that.

Please upgrade to a non-outdated version
Is there much chance of a updated version of mdadm for 11.04? I am going
to want to migrate my RAID5 to RAID6 soon, and I am thinking of just
switching to Debian, as I am not technically competent enough to install
a newer version into Ubuntu myself, and I would rather use a supported
version.

I'm sorry to report that I experienced the same kernel panic with the
ubuntu kernel, both generic and server flavors. Guess I'm stuck with
dmraid for now ... or just move to SuSE (which works with mdadm 3.0.3).

Jools, I think I about to take the plunge, but would like to ask a few
questions first. I have been reading all of the mdadm wiki doc,
manpages, scripts, rules, etc. until I am just beginning to *think* that

What versions is your PPA good for?
It is for lucid. will also work on maverick. Don't use it on Karmic.
It seems like virtually all of the complexity is in init.d scripts and
udev rules to have things happen automatically. If you were willing to
just do an assemble manually and mount, or in a

Indeed. I have a box with 48 disks (on 6 controllers) in a number of
MD arrays and stock 10.04 can't assemble them
Hi Jools,
Do you think it is safe to build and install you package also on
maverick ? I'm trying to ditch dmraid in favor of mdadm 3 which supports
Intel Matrix metadata, and so far ubuntu isn't much help with it's
outdated package.
Thanks,

Funnily enough I just updated a machine to maverick with it to test, and

Thanks, I'll try it in a test system to see if I can migrate from dmraid

debian and it failed to initialize the matrix. After some tinkering I

Hi Jools
Thanks for updating the package for Lucid. I have installed it without any
issues. I attach a log of the output of dpkg.

Hi Jools. Thanks very much for the packages. I wanted to migrate a RAID
5 to RAID 6 on 10.04 and you saved the day. I too would like to see this
picked up for a 10.04 backport or the like. :)
I was thrown off a bit when the device was renamed after
installing/restarting, but I sorted it out. My
Glad it's working for you. In regards to the device renaming, it's
because it didn't recognise the array as belonging to the machine so it
assembled it as md127 to not conflict with any other arrays. Please see

Just to follow up, I am now running my 3.1.4 package on my fileserver.

I plan on running 10.04 until a few months after the *next* LTS is
released. I don't know how to interpret what I see here. Will the
process result in a newer/better stable mdadm being released for 10.04
at some point? If so or if maybe, how far out is that likely to be?

It seems that the file 65-mdadm.vol_id.rules in /lib/udev/rules.d/
was used by mdadm in Karmic
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/mdadm/filelist), and changed in
Lucid to 65-mdadm-blkid.rules with the fixing of Bug #493772.
I'm guessing your package is based on the Karmic version of mdadm?
Yes it is a karmic package. Ii get a chance I could upgrade it to lucid.
Your fix is probably fine though. What we need though is someone as part
of ubuntu to maintain this though. I will never put ubuntu on a software
raid machine again :/

Cool. I'll give it a whirl as well then. I have backups of my data on a
non-RAID partition anyway.
I must admit that I was surprised as well, when I saw that Lucid shipped
with a 20 month old build of this component. Wouldn't this mean that the
Server edition uses this version as well? If that's

Woops... Too late :). It's in the process of syncing right now...
But as mentioned earlier, the data I'm going to put on the RAID

tell I'm not risking anything.
But I _would_ appreciate you taking a look at it though...

I see. Thanks for the heads up.
How would you rate the reliability of your package? Would you recommend
that I just stick with the version in the repos unless I'm feeling
adventurous, or would you say it's relatively safe to use your package?
