Hi!
I just upgraded to mdadm-2.1 from mdadm-1.12.0 and noticed
that the following command (which is even mentioned in the
manual page) doesn't work anymore:
root@tolstoi:~ {838} $ mdadm -Ebsc partitions
mdadm: cannot open partitions: No such file or directory
(I always use this command to create my mdadm.conf file,
so I found the problem very quickly after upgrading ;-)
After playing a little bit with the available commandline
options I found that the following commands do work:
root@tolstoi:~ {839} $ mdadm -Eb -sc partitions
ARRAY /dev/md/1 level=raid1 num-devices=3 UUID=c2c22b31:909b7973:0e4224bb:19cf529d
ARRAY /dev/md/0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=7abbd703:643ffe8e:d6ae4d0e:1b0908aa
as well as the following variations:
root@tolstoi:~ {840} $ mdadm -Eb -s -c partitions
ARRAY /dev/md/1 level=raid1 num-devices=3 UUID=c2c22b31:909b7973:0e4224bb:19cf529d
ARRAY /dev/md/0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=7abbd703:643ffe8e:d6ae4d0e:1b0908aa
root@tolstoi:~ {841} $ mdadm --examine --brief --scan --config=partitions
ARRAY /dev/md/1 level=raid1 num-devices=3 UUID=c2c22b31:909b7973:0e4224bb:19cf529d
ARRAY /dev/md/0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=7abbd703:643ffe8e:d6ae4d0e:1b0908aa
So it looks like the commandline option parsing algorithm
in mdadm.c (which is way too complicated for me to find out
quickly what is going wrong here... ;-) has some problem with
the "-Ebsc partitions" variant.
Seems to be a bug?
I also noticed that there is now an additional newline between
the "ARRAY" lines. Is that intentional? IMHO there should only
by one newline after each line here.
HTH
