must have been the missing subdir underneath I think. I have found an
ubuntu bug now that addresses the missing /var/run/ folder so I guess it
will be fixed in a future release (Ubuntu has an outdated version of
mdadm also - so I have now built my own package of 3.1.2 and fixed up
the missing initramfs folder)

Well, first of all it isn't immediately obvious where to report bugs at
all.

http://neil.brown.name/blog/mdadm you then need to surf to the "front"
link then to contact, but it is a little vague.

and as for what's wrong with a mailinglist? all the obvious things
tracking bugs, priority, other people locating similar issues to
comment, tracking patches and so on.

Thanks for your response.

Best Regards
