[Bug 969384] Re: mdadm --detail --scan segfaults during update-initramfs

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

I also did not manage to reproduce the segfault with precise.
But I also did not encounter seg-faults with precise-proposed version.

ilia or Paul Gortmaker (paul-gortmaker) can you please confirm that
update-initramfs no longer segfaults for you with the mdadm package from
precise-proposed?

We may simply trust the upstream fix, on the basis that there is no
regression w.r.t precise version mdadm on this front.

Title:
  mdadm --detail --scan segfaults during update-initramfs

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “mdadm” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
Status in “mdadm” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [IMPACT]

   * mdadm --detail --scan segfauls, when used with raw device names

   * This may result in update-initramfs call failure, preventing users
  from updating linux kernel and other parts which are included in the
  initramfs.

  * The bug is fixed in the upstream bug fix point release

  [TESTCASE]

   * Reproduce a segfault by running mdadm --detail --scan with raw device names
   * Upgrade the package
   * Notice that running mdadm --detail --scan no longer segfaults 

  [Regression Potential]

   * Minimal, worst thing that can happen is that the said call still
  segfaults or has other new problems.
