Description Neil Darlow 2002-10-15 10:05:46 UTC

The MD device checks in /etc/init.d/checkfs search /etc/raidtab for
/dev/md[0-9]+ only. It would be wise to also permit /dev/md/[0-9]+ also.

This seems simple enough to do e.g. by permitting the / before [0-9] to be optional.

just gonna haunt you to no end azarah ;)

Comment 2 Neil Darlow 2002-10-16 05:10:05 UTC

There's a slight complication in that the output from /proc/mdstat is compared
with ${ACTIVE_RAID}.

This suggests that the same flexibility in parsing /proc/mdstat output would be
desirable. /proc/mdstat reports md[0-9] but you would have to be able to compare
against both formats from /etc/raidtab.

Life is never easy ;-)

Hehehe, yeah.

Please submit a *working* patch, as I do not have raid to test it on.

This bug hasn't changed in at least 180 days. As far as I can tell, the checkfs script has been changed since the bug was filed.

I'm resolving it as a TEST-REQUEST, for lack of activity.
Please reopen this bug if the problem persists.
