This is not a specific mdadm problem, but a packaging problem.
Hi,Nigel Croxon The same problem occurs on the RHEL 8 beta OS. When using the RPM package to install mdadm, the same message appears.

Hello Changhui, Does this problem still exist with later versions of RHEL8 snapshots?
Hi，Nigel Croxon This problem still exists in the latest RHEL-8.0-Snapshot-3.1 :(RHEL-8.0-20181220.1-x86_64-dvd1.iso) [root@intel-mahobay-01 ~]# [root@intel-mahobay-01 ~]# uname -a Linux intel-mahobay-01.lab.eng.rdu.redhat.com 4.18.0-56.el8.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 17 13:56:22 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@intel-mahobay-01 ~]# [root@intel-mahobay-01 ~]# rpm -q mdadm package mdadm is not installed [root@intel-mahobay-01 ~]# [root@intel-mahobay-01 ~]# rpm -ivh mdadm-4.1-3.el8.x86_64.rpm Verifying... ################################# [100%] Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:mdadm-4.1-3.el8 ################################# [100%] [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mdadm.conf:1] Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/mdadm → /run/mdadm; please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly.

I see this on a nightly build. Probable duplicate: bz1657269

I don't know the root cause. Because I'm not familiar with the detail of rpm. Why does it complain about this. But it's too late to fix this problem. It's not a serious problem. It just gives a warning message. The rpm package can be installed successfully. So it's better to fix this in rhel8.1 Thanks Xiao

The rpm > package can be installed successfully. This is not an RPM issue, but a systemd message: the mdadm RPM contains .service files for systemd, so when it is updated, systemd is invoked to reload its units. /var/run is considered a legacy path, and /run is the "canonical" location, so systemd prints that message. Also, the message quoted above is not from mdadm, but from subscription-manager (see the [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/subscription-manager.conf:1] prefix in the message text).
