Pull Request Details:

  • Type: Enhancement

  • Impact: Normal

  • Reference to related issue (URL): #3582

  • How was this pull request tested? On a VM with Ubuntu 22.04 and md devices

  • Description of the changes in this pull request:
    Script 502_include_mdadm_conf.sh did not check the presence of /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file. During recovery md did not honor the original md-device names which resulted in device busy errors.
    With the updated script the recovery works fine again.

How to reproduce the problem? I did many tests with recovery of MD and have not encountered a problem.

Ah, I see, on Ubuntu the path is different.
