Bug#783081: installation-reports: Jessie daily installer installs kernel in flash without any further confirmation (QNAP TS-212)
Hello,
one little addition about this installation.
Emails like following get generated once a day:

Subject: DegradedArray event on /dev/md2:nas3c3b5d
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 22:57:26 +0200
This is an automatically generated mail message from mdadm
running on nas3c3b5d
A DegradedArray event had been detected on md device /dev/md2.
Faithfully yours, etc.
P.S. The /proc/mdstat file currently contains the following:
Personalities : [raid1]
md2 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdb2[0]
530048 blocks [2/1] [U_]
md9 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdb1[0]
530048 blocks [2/1] [U_]
bitmap: 65/65 pages [260KB], 4KB chunk
md13 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdb4[0]
458880 blocks [2/1] [U_]
bitmap: 47/57 pages [188KB], 4KB chunk
unused devices: <none>
------
When I remember correctly I saw those devices as default for at least a
swap device.
As I wanted to leave the internal flash untouched I changed that to
use/format only partitions on the usb stick.
While writing this email I realized that this md* devices are probably
remainings of the original firmware which did setup my hard disk that
way, even when I had until now never 2 disks installed.
