ioctl message

ioctl message

[Wiliam Colls]

In our system log, we recently saw the following message:

May 17 14:20:54 gabriel kernel: [423762.117502] mdadm: sending ioctl 
1261 to a partition!

repeated 10 times, all with the same time stamp. Has not re-occured 
since, and I don't recall seeing anything like it before.

What is mdadm trying to tell me, and what do I need to do about it?

Thanks for your time.

am not sure that you realise that what you heard was not what I meant.

That someone should remove that silly message from the kernel.
