Hi there.
There is a weird mdadm problem if build with uClibc. The 'mdadm
--assemble --scan' always fail with messages about missing superblock
whatever it is 3.2.3 or latest git code. However exact the same sources
bulit with glibc does work. In this testcase I am using raid1 array with
/dev/vdb member and 2nd one marked as missing.
It is 100% reproducable, I am using Aboriginal Linux's root-filesystem
images (images with bash2, busybox, uclibc and gcc) from
http://landley.net/code/aboriginal/bin/
heres how it looks like in my initramfs:
remote rescueshell ~ # mdadm --assemble --scan
mdadm: failed to add 252:16 to /dev/md/2: Invalid argument
mdadm: /dev/md/2 assembled from 0 drives - not enough to start the array.
remote rescueshell ~ # mdadm --assemble --scan --verbose
mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md/2
mdadm: no RAID superblock on 252:3
mdadm: no RAID superblock on 252:2
mdadm: no RAID superblock on 252:1
mdadm: no RAID superblock on 252:0
mdadm: 252:16 is identified as a member of /dev/md/2, slot 0.
mdadm: no uptodate device for slot 1 of /dev/md/2
mdadm: failed to add 252:16 to /dev/md/2: Invalid argument
mdadm: /dev/md/2 assembled from 0 drives - not enough to start the array.
But I can do 'mdadm --assemble /dev/md2 /dev/vdb' it does work, the
working /dev/md2 is created.
The kernel logs after '--assemble --scan':
md: md2 stopped.
md: vda does not have a valid v1.2 superblock, not importing!
md: md_import_device returned -22
I tried amd64 and i686 binaries (I found a note in Makefile that
mdadm.udlibc does not work on x86_64), mdassamble print exact the same
error like mdadm. Also I tried with /dev as devtmpfs and with
mdev-created nodes on tmpfs mountpoint.
The strace:
