A new version was released back in november. Yay for new versions!
Created attachment 215258 [details] cciss_vol_status-1.06.ebuild Here's a quick update of the ebuild. It needs a patch to compile which is attached shortly.
Created attachment 215260 [details, diff] 1.06-strncmp.patch Patch for compiling cciss_vol_status 1.06.
Severity should be changed to major. This is more than a version bump: "You are strongly advised to upgrade from previous version, 1.04 due to a bug in the latter in reporting of logical drive status for logical drives with active spares"
Works fine for me for weeks on amd64 and x86 too.
I don't agree with the patch in this report; I believe strnlen was a typo (it does indeed require two arguments). strlen is the right thing to do, that way the protection of strncmp remains in place. Your patch could allow a buffer overflow to take place.
