We have had a raidsystem running for several years Created by the Fedora Core 2 installscript. Is has bit bigger raidsystem of more than 11 TB It was installed on 32 bit Fedora Core 2 linux 2.6.10 with mdadm 1.50 After a failure we had one disk that was out sync. Couldn't assemble raidset, even with --force -> "Cannot write superblock" After looking at the sourcecode in the file util.c from mdadm-1.5.0 we found out that variable "size" was negative We changed variable size from "long size" into "unsigned long size" wich fixed this problem. Seems that 1.9 already fixed the problem, perhaps even earlyer But also that > Changes Prior to 1.5.0 release > - Fix compiling error with BLKGETSIZE64 and some signed/unsigned > comparison warnings. This was the version we were working on, so something went wrong there.
