-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 mdadm -D and -E use inconsistent units and round incorrectly. It appears that -E lists the size in sectors, but -D lists it in KiB, and both list 1024.16 MiB on a loop device that is exactly 1024 MiB long. Given the listed KiB/sector count, the correct value should be 1023.99 MiB. This happens both with mdadm 3.2.3-2ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 12.04, as well as with a freshly built git head. mdadm -E /dev/loop0 /dev/loop0: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.0 Feature Map : 0x0 Array UUID : 7c24e61e:4e28fb01:79299569:864ea4e3 Name : devserv:1 (local to host devserv) Creation Time : Tue Feb 12 10:36:51 2013 Raid Level : raid1 Raid Devices : 2 Avail Dev Size : 2097128 (1024.16 MiB 1073.73 MB) Array Size : 1048564 (1024.16 MiB 1073.73 MB) Super Offset : 2097136 sectors State : clean Device UUID : f4cd17ea:5a311275:f74f2fa2:ffa1b41a Update Time : Tue Feb 12 10:39:36 2013 Checksum : 8314a161 - correct Events : 8 Device Role : Active device 0 Array State : A.
