Title:
  logcheck fails to ignore sync message

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using mdadm_3.2.5-1ubuntu0.2 on 12.04 with logcheck 1.3.14. During
  a daily cron task (I'm not sure exactly which one, but probably
  /etc/cron.daily/mdadm), I get lines like this in kern.log and syslog:

  May  5 08:08:14 hostname kernel: [2123709.523756] md: using 128k
  window, over a total of 976750808k.

  This message comes from drivers/md/md.c line ~7172:

      printk(KERN_INFO "md: using %dk window, over a total of %lluk.\n",
          window/2, (unsigned long long)max_sectors/2);

  The logcheck ignore rule is looking for /over a total of [[:digit:]]+
  blocks/, which will not match due to the "k". Attached is a patch that
  just adds /k?/ after the digits.
