when trying to start the mdmonitor.service on a systemd system it fails with the following messages in the journal: ... systemd[1]: Starting MD array monitor... ... (m_env.sh)[1532]: mdmonitor.service: Unable to locate executable '/usr/lib/mdadm/mdadm_env.sh': No such file or directory ... systemd[1]: Started MD array monitor. ... systemd[1]: mdmonitor.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE ... systemd[1]: mdmonitor.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Reason: the path to the pre-exec script is wrong.
