Most issues that are reported against the +mdadm package are adequately answered therein. + +In particular, please do not file bugs about mdadm assembling arrays too +early, e.g. when the driver is not yet ready and device nodes do not exist. +Check FAQ item 27 about use of the rootdelay parameter instead. + +Also, please check out http://bugs.debian.org/mdadm and make sure that the +issue you are facing has not already been reported. + +If you are not sure that the answer you are seeking is in those files, or you +are not sure that you are facing a genuine bug, please approach +debian-user@lists.debian.org or linux-raid@vger.kernel.org with your +question(s). + +Gathering information relevant to mdadm as root +=============================================== +If you are not reporting bugs as root (which you should not), you will be +prompted to give permission to run a script to collect relevant information +from your system as the root user. Only the root user has access to some +information that might be relevant to the bug report you are about to file. + +** Please give permission to run the script as root when asked momentarily. + +If you would rather obtain the same information manually, you can run + /usr/share/bug/mdadm/script 3>&1 +as root and include or attach the output. + + -- martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:02:48 +0200 |
