hi,
with the latest mdadm-2.3.1 we've got the following message:
-------------------------------------
md: md4: sync done.
RAID1 conf printout:

--- wd:2 rd:2

disk 0, wo:0, o:1, dev:sda2
disk 1, wo:0, o:1, dev:sdb2
md: mdadm(pid 8003) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to use
new ictls.
-------------------------------------
this is just a warning or some kind of problem with mdadm?

This is with a 2.4 kernel, isn't it.

no. it's rhel latest kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp.

The md driver is incorrectly interpreting an ioctl that it doesn't
recognise as an obsolete ioctl.  In fact it is a new ioctl that 2.4
doesn't know about (I suspect it is GET_BITMAP_FILE).

The message should probably be removed from 2.4, but as 2.4 is in
deep-maintenance mode, I suspect that is unlikely....

it's 2.6:-(
