From cbe6ef1d2622e08e272600b3cb6040bed60f0450 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:58:38 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md: don't set_capacity before array is active. If the desired size of an array is set (via sysfs) before the array is active (which is the normal sequence), we currrently call set_capacity immediately. This means that a subsequent 'open' (as can be caused by some udev-triggers program) will notice the new size and try to probe for partitions. However as the array isn't quite ready yet the read will fail. Then when the array is read, as the size doesn't change again we don't try to re-probe. So when setting array size via sysfs, only call set_capacity if the array is already active.
