Bug#705454: mdadm: --examine --scan generates wrong #spares

[Thorsten Glaser]

reassign 705454 mdadm
found 705454 3.2.5-5
retitle 705454 mdadm: --examine --scan generates wrong #spares
thanks

I can reproduce this in a "live" sid system by creating
the md arrays then running this command:

root at tglase:/ # mdadm --examine --scan
ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=b4a6dcca:639ab49e:3cbfd189:3a086020
   spares=1
ARRAY /dev/md1 UUID=b1518a63:e8fe3e9f:3cbfd189:3a086020
   spares=2
root at tglase:/ # cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [multipath]
md1 : active raid10 sdf2[4](S) sde2[3] sdd2[2] sdc2[1] sda2[0]
      975721472 blocks 512K chunks 2 near-copies [4/4] [UUUU]

md0 : active raid1 sdf1[4](S) sde1[3] sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sda1[0]
      524224 blocks [4/4] [UUUU]

unused devices: <none>

I assume that between the mds an internal counter
is not changed, or something.

bye,
