Topic
Updated mdadm packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The mdadm packages contain a utility for creating, managing, and monitoring Linux Multiple Disk devices.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- If a rebuild of an IMSM RAID5 volume was started in OROM (Option ROM), the rebuild operation did not proceed on the operating system, and the volume was left in a degraded state. This happened because OROM used a different mechanism of moving a RAID volume from a degraded state to a recovery state than the mdadm utility. This update provides a patch addressing this problem and the rebuild operation now proceeds as expected in this situation. (BZ#958024)
- When expanding the size of a RAID1 or RAID5 volume, the resync process is reported in the /proc/mdstat file. However, due to a bug in the mdmon daemon, the volume’s metadata did not contain any information about the resync operation, and no volume's checkpoint was saved. Therefore, if the RAID volume was stopped during the process of size expansion, all information about this progress was lost. The resync process had to be started from scratch when the array was available again. With this update,the saved metadata now includes information about the ongoing resync process during the expansion of the size of RAID1 or RAID5 volume. (BZ#960612)
Users of mdadm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
