Package: mdadm
Version: 2.6.9-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
when I try to resize/reshape a raid with internal bitmap mdadm fails
saying the device is busy and dmesg shows that the raid layer returned
error -16.
The reason why it fails is that resizing and reshaping doesn't know
how to handle the bitmap. Mdadm should detect that a raid has a bitmap
and give a proper error message, possibly even suggest to remove the
bitmap for the duration of the resize/reshape.
MfG
