severity 273182 critical merge 273182 294404 tags 294404 = patch confirmed pending tags 301560 = patch confirmed pending thanks Okay, Steve's config.c patch in addition to Marco's suggestion appear to solve this bug. Attached is the final patch for an NMU. I have tested this only on VMware (but with SCSI, so modules are being used, but via initrd), and not using a RAID-on-root. Anyway, RAID-on-root pivot happens way before init, so it would not make a difference anyway (and RAID-on-root just won't work for now). I will now post a testers-sought message to debian-devel so that we can verify that the three bugs are fixed. NMU packages are available from deb http://debian.madduck.net ~madduck/packages/nmu/mdadm/ deb-src http://debian.madduck.net ~madduck/packages/nmu/mdadm/ -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?

+ * Non-maintainer upload.
+ * High-urgency upload for sarge targeted RC bugfix.
+ * Move mdadm-raid back to S25 as it needs to run after modules have been
+ loaded at S20 (see followups to #294404, #301560).
+ * Added code suggested by Marco d'Itri (see #294404) to create /dev/md*
+ device nodes before running mdadm in mdadm-raid if not yet present, and if
+ udev is being used.
+ (closes: #294404, #273182)
+ * Verified that Steve Langasek's patch to config.c (see item 4 of the
+ 1.9.0-2.1 changelog) is necessary for `mdadm -A -s` to work.
