pass --test to mdadm to enable result codes for degraded arrays.
(LP: #761971)

58. By Surbhi Palande on 2011-03-23

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). (LP: #728435)

Build udeb with -O2 on ppc64, working around a link error.

debian/mdadm.manpages: add manpages back to build (LP: #697821).

55. By Surbhi Palande on 2010-09-30

* Merge from debian unstable. (LP: #603582)
* Remaining changes
  - Assemble.c, config.c: upgraded to the mdadm-3.1.4 version of these files
    from Debian.
  - 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/rules: kept debian's switch to using dh_lintian
  - debian/mdadm.links, debian/mdadm.manpages: dropped owing to the fact
    that these are not used in Ubuntu. Also dropped the build-dep on docbook
    to man)
  - 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 Ubuntus 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

54. By Surbhi Palande on 2010-09-13

* debian/initramfs/hook: Added following code (invoked on update-initramfs)
  (LP: #617725):
  - create a mdadm.conf if it is not found in /etc and copy it in initramfs
  - update an existing mdadm.conf in the initramfs if it does'nt include
    a definition of any array
  - warn the user if the definition of an active array is not found in the
    initramfs/etc/mdadm.conf

53. By Colin Watson on 2009-12-12

* Rename debian/mdadm.vol_id.udev to debian/mdadm.mdadm-blkid.udev so that
  the rules file ends up with a more reasonable name following changes in
  debhelper 7.4.2, and adjust the initramfs hook to match (LP: #493772).
* Build-depend on debhelper 7.4.2.

52. By Colin Watson on 2009-11-15

* Fix boot_degraded handling during installation (LP: #462258):
  - Source /lib/preseed/preseed.sh in check.d/root_on_raid.
  - Change mdadm/boot_degraded default in templates file to match the
    apparently-intended behaviour (i.e. false), and stop overriding
    debconf preseeding if BOOT_DEGRADED is not already set in the
    initramfs configuration file.

51. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2009-09-27

Do not test array state for partitions, which won't exist if the
array is inactive and don't have a state to test. LP: #431064.

50. By Colin Watson on 2009-08-26

check.d/root_on_raid: Make sure to always read all the output from
fstab.d scripts; this may help to clear up occasional partman hangs.
