Re: ANNOUNCE - mdadm 0.8 - candidate for 1.0

The rpm file for this one places mdadm and mdadm.conf under /usr. So you
have:

/usr/sbin/mdadm
/usr/etc/mdadm.conf

I rebuilt the rpm using mdadm.spec with:

rpm -tb mdadm-0.8.tgz

This is on a RedHat 7.2 system (2.4.18) and it correctly fixed mdadm.conf
by placing it at /etc/mdadm.conf, but mdadm is still under /usr/sbin. I'm
afraid this is beyond the scope of my knowledge of RPM, but I suspect that
it's either a very simple fix in the .spec file, or I have a misconfigured
system.

Anyway, maybe this was intentional, but I'll make the case that both these
files need to have / (not /usr) as their base, because mdadm and
mdadm.conf should be on the root partition in the event that their was a
problem during startup.
