must have been the missing subdir underneath I think. I have found an
ubuntu bug now that addresses the missing /var/run/ folder so I guess it
will be fixed in a future release (Ubuntu has an outdated version of
mdadm also - so I have now built my own package of 3.1.2 and fixed up
the missing initramfs folder)

My final thought is, that to make this bug report, I had to come and
sign up here on this list, and then hope that the mdadm maintainer will
read it. The mdadm software really needs a bugtracker, or better
instructions on the site as to how to go about reporting issues

What's wrong about a mailing list?

Well, first of all it isn't immediately obvious where to report bugs at
all.

http://neil.brown.name/blog/mdadm you then need to surf to the "front"
link then to contact, but it is a little vague.

and as for what's wrong with a mailinglist? all the obvious things
tracking bugs, priority, other people locating similar issues to
comment, tracking patches and so on.

Thanks for your response.
