Aparently with the e.57 kernel, the kernel does not like the ioctls that mount is using to mount software raid devices. I get the following in my kernel log: md: mount(pid 212) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to use new ictls. md: mount(pid 212) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to use new ictls. md: mount(pid 212) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to use new ictls. md: mount(pid 212) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to use new ictls. md: mount(pid 212) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to use new ictls. It's purely cosmetic, but it could do with fixing. If this is the only issue with this kernel I will still be happy :)
This error message is still present in the e.59 kernels. Either mount needs to be errata'ed, or the kernel needs to be silenced, but please fix this, as it is filling system logs with useless messages.
