It doesn't seem like such. A side effect of my patch would be that it would also fix the bug #472915 problem (since sed -n .../p construct is used which makes the matching of ARRAY lines more robust) though. I merged the two patches, attaching the result.

fixed in 1.102pre-59.el5.  Thanks!

Comment 5 Lubomir Rintel 2009-03-23 12:43:58 UTC
I'm wondering if this is to be fixed in Fedora as well? Looking at the Fedora mkdumprd it seems to have the same problem, I'm unable to verify that though, since I don't have a raid installation.
