It will, but not only with Debian. All current releases of mdadm still default to a 0.9 superblock. Neil has been talking about changing that, but as of now it is still true for all versions of mdadm. I think it was even true for mdadm 3.1, which was withdrawn. > If not is it that large problem > and I should upgrade my tools beyond what Debian provides? There's nothing truly horrible about a 0.9 superblock, unless your RAID array is going to grow to be quite large. The existing tools allow a version 1.x superblock, but you must select the version yourself when you create the array. If you don't, it will default to 0.9. -- 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
