[SOLVED] mdadm causes segmentation fault at boottime

Hi all,

for two days now I noticed the following message(s) in /var/log/boot
udevd[280]: '/sbin/mdadm --detail --export /dev/md0' [309] terminated by signal 11 (Segmentation fault)

The system boots and seems to be okay. If I call
  mdadm --detail /dev/md0
after booting, it reports no error. Nevertheless calling
  mdadm --detail --export /dev/md0
indeed causes a segmentation fault.

Is that a known issue?

Cheers, Zmann

Re: [SOLVED] mdadm causes segmentation fault at boottime

Hi,

I can confirm the same crash with mdadm 3.2.3-3 from the repository, but I recompiled the same version from sources (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/) and the crash does not occur. Using the version from AUR, mdadm-git, works fine as well.

Need to check how the package is built...

Regards,
fpo

Re: [SOLVED] mdadm causes segmentation fault at boottime

This issue was obviously solved recently by any maintainer: mdadm --detail --export /dev/mdxxx no longer segfaults on my machine
