Hi,
With the raidtools package, mkraid fails while creating devices /dev/md1
when the raid device /dev/md10 is already running.
The problem is that the code has used strstr("/dev/md1", "/dev/md10") which
returns valid pointer, which outputs
"array is active - run raidstop first" error message.
I am including a patch for the code.
