[Bug 27037] Re: mdadm cannot assemble array as cannot open drive with O_EXCL

[Pelle]

Hej Andrew,

I have had no trouble with my last two arrays on basically debian /etc/rcS.d setup,
even with the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM flag turned on while kompiling the latest "stable" kernel.
(but i now have the flag turned off for paranoidomal safty reasons) - i do not need it on.
 
Why do'nt  You (who is still wrestling with this problem & solving it with a delaying softswitch)
write to Ben Collins who was the first one to answer questions about bug[27037] in this forum.
He began 2005 at the same day that we here in Sweden & in Holland and in Her hometown in
Italy have a grand party for Santa Lucia. As i remembered it he also wwrote in the Kernel-Bug
forum asking Linus ant the other guys who are supposed to have some overview about this.

Maybe You found something new so we can go to the rooth of this evil an mark it as solved.
I'll saw that you joined Ubuntu some months before me (but could'nt find your first postings).
I began writing only on this page because goggle saw that it was right here this shit was most
written about. If you are still doing experiments, you can write directly to me. I did buy 2x1.5TB
WD drives who both broke down within 2 weeks. Saved some mony  an have now 2 similar Segate
under heavy testing (checking S.M.A.R.T. messages from them). So if you write to me (and not 
here every 3 min) and tell me more in detail of  your setup, maybe i have time and interest to
try do duplicate the strange behavior you just described.
