Well, the code that causes the warning Lars is seeing is
if (best[i] >=0 &&
devices[best[i]].i.events
== devices[devcnt].i.events
&& (devices[best[i]].i.disk.minor
!= devices[devcnt].i.disk.minor)
&& st->ss->major == 0
&& info.array.level != -4) {
/* two different devices with identical superblock.
* Could be a mis-detection caused by overlapping
* partitions. fail-safe.
*/
fprintf(stderr, Name ": WARNING %s and %s appear"
" to have very similar superblocks.\n"
" If they are really different, "
"please --zero the superblock on one\n"
" If they are the same or overlap,"
" please remove one from %s.\n",
devices[best[i]].devname, devname,
inargv ? "the list" :
"the\n DEVICE list in mdadm.conf"
);
if (must_close) close(mdfd);
return 1;
}
IMHO this can be triggered by having two devices nodes (sdy and sdi,
whatever) that correspond to the same physical device, no?
