Hello. We in Debian have 2 rather similar bugreports which are somewhat old: http://bugs.debian.org/599352 http://bugs.debian.org/694513 Last bugreport is against mdadm-3.2.5, so not THAT old. Basically, it smells like there's a possibility for mdadm to assemble more than one (degraded) array out of components of the same array. So I wonder if mdadm or kernel have some protection of this situation from happening. Something like looking at already active/assembled devices to see if the same UUID is already used before trying to assemble another array. It might be better done in kernel because this way the process might be freee from races when two mdadm instances tries to do the work in parallel. Are these bugs for real?
