-- apt-cache policy mdadm mdadm: Installed: 3.2.3-2ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.2.3-2ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.2.3-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status -- -- Environment Ubuntu 12.04 Server Edition 64bit (installed from the 20120323 daily ISO) Installed into a guest running on VirtualBox 4.1.10, hosted on Windows 7. Disk configuration: 1 SATA controller 1 20GB HDD (used at / mount point) 5x 512MB HDD (used to simulate RAID5 array) -- -- What action I took On an untouched installation, I install mdadm, and attempt to create a RAID5 array with this command: sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf After confirming that I wanted to create the array, mdadm reported success. I initialized a file system on it, mounted it, and created a simple text file containing 'Hello World' on it. Then, I reboot. -- -- What I expected to happen mdadm would reassemble the array at boot time as /dev/md0. -- -- What happened instead mdadm reassemled the array at boot time as /dev/md127. -- It took a great deal if hunting around to discover that the array had actually been assembled. I forget what command I issued that finally tipped me off to the existence of the assembled array, but running 'sudo mdadm --detail /dev/md127' confirmed that it was the array I had just built. I mounted the array and viewed the contents of the text file to confirm. This did not occur when I built my array on my test and production servers running Ubuntu 10.04 Server 64bit, so I am calling this new and unexpected behavior, and filing it as a bug.
