Surbhi,

I'm afraid I don't understand the fix for this bug in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/136252/+attachment/2139759/+files/mdadm_lp_bug_fixes.debdiff. The changelog comments say that the map will be rebuilt - but isn't this bug about needing to preserve the *state* from /var/run in the initramfs? How does rebuilding the map accomplish this?

I understand that this is a backport from mdadm 3.1.4; I just am not sure how this change addresses the issue reported here.

A test case for this particular bug would also be helpful for the SRU process, if someone can describe how to reproduce the original error (presumably in a test environment).
