Subject: 2.6.15: mdrun, udev -- who creates nodes?
Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2006 11:40:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43DCA9CA.5020505@bl.com> (raw)

Here's a snippet from /sbin/mdrun:

 >       mdadm -A -a $NUMBER -f `arr MDS $MD` && setarr MDS $MD "started"
 >       # just to be sure
 >       ln /dev/md/$NUMBER /dev/md$NUMBER 2>/dev/null


The first line is the problem I'm having, namely, that the arrays are 
being assembled with the wrong numbers. I'm about to try a replacement 
strategy that ignores /sbin/mdrun entirely.

The last line of the snippet shows /sbin/mdrun attempting to create a 
device that udev creates.

This won't crash anything, to the best of my knowledge; but which 
package is supposed to have "control" of creating /dev/md[0-9]*? udev 
has a rule (under compat-full) that creates this same symlink.
