Insight
mdadm would crash during bootup when trying to activate several raid10 devices, dropping the system in maintenance mode, where you had to manually reactivate the missing raid10 sets in order to continue the boot.
The updated mdadm fixes this issue, allowing systems with raid10 to boot normally.
Affected
mdadm on Mandriva Linux 2009.0,
Mandriva Linux 2009.0/X86_64
