On one machine I have, mdadm (3.0) segfaults every time the machine is booted. After boot, the same commandline appears to work just fine. >From the boot messages: <6>mdadm[1815]: segfault at 5c ip 000000000041f2b3 sp 00007fffb3b62c80 error 4 in mdadm[400000+40000] and more: Starting MD Raid mdadm: /dev/md/turnip:12 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). /etc/init.d/boot.d/S07boot.md: line 97: 1815 Segmentation fault $mdadm_BIN -A -s -c $mdadm_CONFIG failed -- Jon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
