Ah no, it is mdadm that's buggy. The "array md1 already has disks!" infinite loop is fixed in the latest upstream version (2.6.7). If you have git access, have a look at commit "mdadm-2.6.6-1-g1c203a4". The log says it fixes "autoassemble for stacked arrays", but it looks like this bug also affects non-stacked arrays in some circumstances.
At least On Hardy Heron, Ubuntu doesn't patch mdadm at all. So one should be able to just install mdadm from source. Obviously one needs to take great care if you use MD for your root filesystem. There are also a worrying number of "fix segfault" commits. Personally I think I'll be much happer after manually upgrading mdadm to version 2.6.7. -- long bootup, dmesg full of md: array md1 already has disks! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
