Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.

Gaetan: Why isn't this a bug? I don't think it's a good idea to select exactly those bugs for closing where the submitter clearly put effort into producing a well-thought-out proposal. Please stop doing this.
I notice that the mdadm(8) manual page says:
--assume-clean
Tell mdadm that the array pre-existed and is known to be
clean. It can be useful when trying to recover from a
major failure as you can be sure that no data will be
affected unless you actually write to the array. It can
also be used when creating a RAID1 or RAID10 if you want
to avoid the initial resync, however this practice --
while normally safe -- is not recommended. Use this
only if you really know what you are doing.
Thus I rather feel we shouldn't do this by default.
A chunk size prompt seems reasonable, perhaps only in expert mode. |
