In the rare situation where you have multiple partitions defined for one disk and have the 10th partition mounted, (eg, /dev/sda10), and want to build a raid partition on the 1st partition (eg, /dev/sda1) "mkraid" will claim that the partition is mounted (eg "/dev/sda1 mounted!"). This is due to an incorrect pattern match while reading /etc/mtab. ('/dev/sda1' matches '/dev/sda10' incorrectly.) This can be worked around by temporarily editing out the 10th partition entry in /etc/mtab while mkraid is running its initial verifications. Once the raid is actually created, everything is fine.
