Title:
  Please merge mdadm 3.2.3-2 from Debian unstable (main) (multiple
  regressions)

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “mdadm” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Looking at the list of fixes upgrading mdadm from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3 shows
  some severe regressions were fixed.

  mdadm: re-add fails (regression in mdadm-3.2.2-1ubuntu1)
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651880

  mdadm: segmentation fault when converting raid10 to raid0
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=645563

  mdadm-raid does not assemble mds on multipath devices
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641584

  This ticket was originally about only one of them:

  /etc/cron.daily/mdadm fails if mdadm monitor daemon is already running
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641886

  Reproducing:

  1. Install Ubuntu 12.04 with md raid.

  My system has:

  $ cat /proc/mdstat
  Personalities : [raid1] [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
  md1 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
        522048 blocks [2/2] [UU]

  md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
        10490304 blocks [2/2] [UU]

  md2 : active raid1 sdc1[0] sdd1[1]
        805305143 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]

  unused devices: <none>

  2. Try running this mdadm command, observe unexpected results:

  # mdadm --monitor --scan --oneshot
  mdadm: Only one autorebuild process allowed in scan mode, aborting

  3. Also cron will send mail:

  /etc/cron.daily/mdadm:
  mdadm: Only one autorebuild process allowed in scan mode, aborting
  run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/mdadm exited with return code 1

  Because when you install the mdadm package this crontab file is
  created:

  $ dpkg -S /etc/cron.daily/mdadm
  mdadm: /etc/cron.daily/mdadm

  4. Stop any mdadm processes (but only for testing, it is unacceptable
  to turn off mdadm monitoring.)

  # service mdadm stop

  5. Try running, observe expected results:
  # mdadm --monitor --scan --oneshot
  (no output)

  This issue was fixed in Debian, please Debian Import this version:
