Hi,
(please cc me as I'm not subscribed)
I have hit a bug with mdadm 2.6.7
It rebuilds my raid5 array on every boot
(raid0 and raid1 arrays are not affected)
This didn't happend with 2.6.4
kernels tested are 2.6.24.7 and 2.6.25.12
Arch is x86_64
Distro Mandriva 2008.1, but I've tested wich kernel.org kernels and
upstream mdadm 2.6.7 and have the same problem
Now I could try to bisect it, but every raid5 rebuild takes 6-7 hours,
so I thought about asking for pointers before...
Any ideas where to start looking ?
here is the info on the array that gets rebuilt...
