[Bug 1858342] Re: mdcheck_start.service fails due to missing executable

[Rowan Wookey]

This also effects Focal. Considering Focal is LTS and will run on
servers with RAID arrays it'd be a good idea to fix this before release.

Title:
  mdcheck_start.service fails due to missing executable

Status in mdadm package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In Eoan the mdadm crons were replaced by systemd timers, specifically
  the one that checks the array now doesn't work due to a missing
  executable.

  * Drop /etc/cron.d/mdadm and migrate to systemd mdcheck_start|continue
  timer units.

  /lib/systemd/system/mdcheck_start.service contains this line

  ExecStart=/usr/share/mdadm/mdcheck --duration $MDADM_CHECK_DURATION

  However /usr/share/mdadm/mdcheck isn't in the mdadm package. It looks
  like this file wasn't added from the upstream sources.
