[Bug 957494] Re: Missing added utility 'mdmon'

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

@sdhillon: do you want to partition and install on to external metadata RAID? I am sorry to inform you, that this is currently not supported see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-md/+bug/1028677
Also this bug only includes mdmon in the normal deb package. Mdmon is still not included in the udeb, which would be required for the installer. Also I need to double check that mdmon is also available in the initramfs, cause otherwise it will not be possible to boot or have rootfs on the external metadata RAID.

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

Bug description:
  [IMPACT]

   * Users cannot use mdmon - monitor MD external metadata arrays

   * Thus users cannot use Common raid Disk Data Format (DDF) and Intel
  Matrix RAID formats

   * This is hardware enableblement

   * This utility was excluded from installation into the deb package,
  which is now fixed in the packaging.

  [TESTCASE]

   * $ which mdmon
   * Upgrade the package
   * $ which mdmon
     /sbin/mdmon

  [Regression Potential]

   * Minimal, the utility was not previously shipped in Ubuntu, but was
  shipped in Debian
