Hi Neil,

The mdadm -I --no-degraded option needs to be acceptable for some time
to come, do you have a policy for when deprecated options can be scheduled for
removal?  The error code for -I shall be zero in the 'not enough' case to
restore the correct and established pre-3.1.3 behavior.

Also available via git:

    git://github.com/djbw/mdadm.git master

Dan Williams (2):
       Incremental: return success in 'container not enough' case
       Incremental: accept '--no-degraded' as a deprecated option

Note, both of these should have been tagged:

Reported-by: Ignacy Kasperowicz <redacted>

If you take the patches directly.

Thanks,
I've taken both and added that line.

I'm beginning to think we should treat 3.1.3 like an -rc and do a 3.1.4 soon
with all these little fix-ups...
