From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx> Hi, In order to resolve the problem with reboots hanging on systems with / on an IMSM RAID, systemd needs to be able to see that a given mdadm and mdmon process was launched from the initramfs, and allow it to survive until it gets back to there, so it can unmount the root filesystem safely. These patches introduces the --initrd argument to mdadm which makes it change the first character of argv[0] to '@' to match the convention set by systemd. In addition I also changed mdmon to use getopt_long to make it easier to add more command line arguments to it. Note that I went through great effort to preserve the behavior, even though the old code did some somewhat dodgy stuff using changing the arvg buffer pointing to the '--all' argument. Comments? Thanks, Jes Jes Sorensen (4): mdmon: Use getopt_long() to parse command line options Add --initrd argument to mdadm Add --initrd argument to mdmon Spawn mdmon with --initrd if mdadm was launched with --initrd ReadMe.c | 3 ++ mdadm.c | 11 ++++++++++ mdadm.h | 3 ++ mdmon.c | 64 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- util.c | 17 ++++++++++++--- 5 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) -- 1.7.8.3 -- 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
