This bug was fixed in the package mdadm - 3.2.3-2ubuntu1

---------------
mdadm (3.2.3-2ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian testing. (LP: #920324)  Remaining changes:
    - Call checks in local-premount to avoid race condition with udev
      and opening a degraded array.
    - d/initramfs/mdadm-functions: Record in /run when boot-degraded
      question has been asked so that it is only asked once
    - pass --test to mdadm to enable result codes for degraded arrays.
    - Build udeb with -O2 on ppc64, working around a link error.
    - debian/control: we need udev and util-linux in the right version. We
      also remove the build dependency from quilt and docbook-to-man as both
      are not used in Ubuntus mdadm.
    - debian/initramfs/hook: kept the Ubuntus version for handling the absence
      of active raid arrays in <initramfs>/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
    - debian/initramfs/script.local-top.DEBIAN, debian/mdadm-startall,
      debian/mdadm.raid.DEBIAN: removed. udev does its job now instead.
    - debian/mdadm-startall.sgml, debian/mdadm-startall.8: documentation of
      unused startall script
    - debian/mdadm.config, debian/mdadm.postinst - let udev do the handling
      instead. Resolved merge conflict by keeping Ubuntu's version.
    - debian/mdadm.postinst, debian/mdadm.config, initramfs/init-premount:
      boot-degraded enablement; maintain udev starting of RAID devices;
      init-premount hook script for the initramfs, to provide information at
      boot
    - debian/mkconf.in is the older mkconf. Kept the Ubuntu version.
    - debian/rules: Kept Ubuntus version for installing apport hooks, not
      installing un-used startall script and for adding a udev rule
      corresponding to mdadm.
    - debian/install-rc, check.d/_numbers, check.d/root_on_raid: Ubuntu partman
      installer changes
    - debian/presubj: Dropped this unused bug reporting file. Instead use
      source_mdadm.py act as an apport hook for bug handling.
    - rename debian/mdadm.vol_id.udev to debian/mdadm.mdadm-blkid.udev so that
      the rules file ends up with a more reasonable name
    - d/p/debian-changes-3.1.4-1+8efb9d1ubuntu4: mdadm udev rule
      incrementally adds mdadm member when detected. Starting such an
      array in degraded mode is possible by mdadm -IRs. Using mdadm
      -ARs without stopping the array first does nothing when no
      mdarray-unassociated device is available. Using mdadm -IRs to
      start a previously partially assembled array through incremental
      mode. Keeping the mdadm -ARs for assembling arrays which were for
      some reason not assembled through incremental mode (i.e through
      mdadm's udev rule).

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

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
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)
