This bug was fixed in the package mdadm - 3.1.4-1+8efb9d1ubuntu1

---------------
mdadm (3.1.4-1+8efb9d1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * 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

mdadm (3.1.4-1+8efb9d1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added patch with Makefile fix from upstream (commit 8efb9d1) to fix
    compiler/linker problem on non-x86 architectures (closes: #595290).

mdadm (3.1.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release, which closes:#595039 and addresses the following
    issues too:
    - reverts move of incremental map (closes: #585015).
    - fixes mdadm monitor in the case of an inactive (or start-failed) raid0
      or linear array (closes: #539154).
    - prevent --remove faulty from skipping renumbered devices
      (closes: #587550).
    - fixed overflow when growing a RAID6 (closes: #589493).
  * However, disable the incremental assembly upstream turned on in 3.1.3 for
    now, this will have to wait until after the squeeze release.
  * initramfs/hook: make sure configuration file exists before accessing it;
    thanks to Michael Prokop for the fix and NMU (closes: #589836).
  * initramfs/hook: Match UUID case-insensitive while checking for running
    arrays not listed in mdadm.conf; thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe for the
    patch (closes: #583545).
  * Fix URL in the bug reporting preamble (presubj) (closes: #589833).
  * Add I/O rescheduling functionality to the checkarray script and make the
    cronjob use the idle priority; this should now minimise the impact of the
    monthly re-check on the running system; Florian Heigl had the idea
    (closes: #592149, #508123).

mdadm (3.1.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix logcheck regexp to cure "egrep: Unmatched [ or [^" message
    (closes: #583376).
  * Cherry-pick 94fcb80 from upstream to fix compiler error due to argument
    type error (at least on ia64, sparc, powerpc) (closes: #583495).

mdadm (3.1.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (closes: #567167).
  * Ignore lintian error about not stopping in runlevel 1.
  * Include more information about the configuration, initrd, and LVM in
    bugscript output.
  * Check active devices against configuration file based on UUID, not device
    name (closes: #553896).
  * When preparing the list of devices, treat /dev/mdX and /dev/md/X equally.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 without having to make changes.
  * Fix logcheck rule with patch from Frédéric Brière, since Rebuild events
    are now arbitrary, no longer multiples of 20 (closes: #570315).
  * checkarray: do not exit non-zero when there are no arrays found (see
    #582360).
  * Do not exit checkarray cronjob non-zero when the tests whether to run
    fail (closes: #580825). This is related to a recent change in behaviour in
    cron 3.0pl1-110 (see e.g. #581612). Thanks to everyone for their
    suggestions!
  * Call MAKEDEV to create device nodes only if MAKEDEV is installed
    (closes: #569360).

mdadm (3.1.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Retire fixed/blkid-dev branch.
  * Reword warning about unbootable system when mdadm is purged
    (closes: #544558).
  * Updated FAQ to include s2ram as one of the reasons that can prevent an
    array from being stopped; thanks to Pascal Hambourg for writing in.
  * Install udev rules into udeb package (closes: #558823).
  * Update mdadd.sh (formerly /usr/share/doc/mdadm/examples/newdisk.gz) from
    Arno's website, refactoring the script into its own branch/patch
    (closes: #539103).
  * Do not single-quote homehost in initramfs script (closes: #549083).

mdadm (3.0.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.8.3 without having to make changes.
  * Fixed init dependencies of mdadm daemon init.d script; thanks Petter
    Reinholdtsen (closes: #541396).
  * Switched source package to v3-quilt format.

mdadm (3.0.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Acknowledge 3.0-3.1 NMU by Christian Kujau (patch by Marco d'Itri)
    (closes: #541884), and add util-linux dependency.
  * Copy udev rules into initramfs, which udev stopped doing
    (closes: #549535, #549083, #538843, #538143).
  * Fix the bug script to write debug information to the correct file
    descriptor (closes: #537734).
  * Switch to TopGit and split Debian diff into topic branches; add
    README.source.
  * Drop the outdated rootraiddoc.97.html document.

mdadm (3.0-3.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * use blkid instead of vold_id in udev-md-raid.rules (closes: #541884)

mdadm (3.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed initramfs script with patch from Steffen Hau: it was still using
    --auto-update-homehost, which has been removed and replaced by a better
     heuristic: arrays created for a different "homehost" will now be
     assembled read-only, rather than shoehorned into the system with
     --auto-update-homehost (closes: #537820).
  * Add version stamps to bugscript and mkconf scripts to facilitate
    debugging.

mdadm (3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New stable upstream release.
  * Add information about udev and device links in /dev to bugscript output.
  * Add pointer to FAQ and in particular rootdelay to the bug script
    pre-subject file, which is displayed by tools like reportbug and thus
    hopefully reduces the numbers of duplicated bugs.
  * Patch from Frédéric Brière to make logcheck rules printk_time aware
    (closes: #537460).
  * Updated German translation due to typos and old spelling rules; thanks to
    Helge Kreutzmann for the patch (closes: #534663).
  * Bumped Standard-Version to 3.8.2; no changes necessary.

mdadm (3.0~devel3-43-g2800528-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Merge tip of upstream's devel-3.0 branch at commit 2800528.
  * Drop our own udev rules in favour of upstream's. If
    /etc/udev/rules.d/65_mdadm.vol_id.rules has not been modified (md5sum
    check), it is automatically removed; else, a warning is emitted.
  * Add information about udev and device links in /dev to bugscript output.

mdadm (2.6.9-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix the multipath prereq patch (#516605) and make it exit after printing
    the prerequisites (closes: #526793).
  * Change my previous recommendation for postfix over to the new virtual
    package default-mta (see #522300 and #508644).
  * Enhance bugscript, which now asks to run as root (sudo/su) if invoked by
    a normal user.
  * Include MD5 sums of md-related files in initrd in bug reports.
  * Add grub2 information retrieval to bugscript.
  * Trap SIGINT and thus prevent ctrl-c from terminating the bugscript
    prematurely.

mdadm (3.0~devel3-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Initial release of DEVELOPMENT BRANCH 3.0 to experimental.

mdadm (2.6.9-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix the check of whether mdadm.conf defines all devices known to the
    system; thanks Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn (closes: #525655).
  * No longer pass -k to modprobe, which has been deprecated for a long time;
    thanks to Jan Hudec (closes: #519999).
  * Remove Mario Joußen from the uploaders list, since his email started
    bouncing.
  * Prepare mdadm source to use quilt, with the long-term goal to switch to
    TopGit, once I find the time.
  * Cherry-pick caa0f6c & 667e66d from Neil into a quilt patch to fix gcc-4.4
    compiler issues (closes: #505375).

mdadm (2.6.9-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Do not set -eu in the bugscript to maximise information output in the case
    of errors.
  * Make initramfs script depend on multipath to ensure its script is run
    before ours (closes: #516605).
  * Provide an alternative (postfix) for mail-transport-agent (closes:
    #522300). I chose postfix because that's the only one I could recommend,
    and since the alternative does not affect people who already have an MTA
    installed, or have a preference, it won't affect them.
  * Honour debconf pre-selection of mdadm/initrdstart (closes: #516802).
  * Incorporate patch from Adrian Bridgett: the initramfs hook now checks to
    see if all known arrays are listed in mdadm.conf and issues a warning if
    this is not the case (closes: #519328).
  * Make checkarray skip over arrays still marked auto-read-only
    (closes: #510641).
  * Add cron.daily snippet from Paul Slootman to run one-shot scans every day
    to ensure that failed arrays don't go unnoticed (closes: #497949).
  * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.8.1; no changes necessary.

mdadm (2.6.8-12-gb47dff6-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Brown paper bag release: I built from the wrong branch which caused some
    Debian-specific changes not to get into the package. Thus build fixes it.

mdadm (2.6.8-12-gb47dff6-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - better checks asprintf() return codes, thanks to patch from Dustin
      Kirkland (closes: #509167).
  * Fix start/stop runlevels in header of mdadm monitor init.d script
    (closes: #514923).
  * Use modprobe -q instead of --syslog from initramfs (closes: #502988).

mdadm (2.6.7.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release, created for Debian lenny:
    - fixes assembly of arrays that are being reshaped (closes: #512475)
    - this bug was also responsible for other assembly problems
      (closes: #498505, #499643, #496334)
    Again, many thanks to Neil Brown for being such an awesome upstream.

  * Documentation updates:
    - Actually install David Pashley's blog post added in 2.6.7.1-1, and
      register it with doc-base.
    - Update md.txt to version 2.6.26 (the lenny kernel).
    - Add a dump of a website detailing md superblock formats.
    - Register FAQ, md.txt, RAID5-vs-RAID10, README.recipes with doc-base
    - Cherry-picked UID/UUID typo in mdadm.conf(5) manpage fix (commit
      0e69da7) (closes: #506245).

  * Added Italian debconf translation; thanks Luca Monducci (closes: #506572).
