Now 00createnames doesn't check Create names=yes config. Without this
config, mdadm creates /dev/md127 device node when mdadm --create
/dev/md/test. With this config, it creates /dev/md_test. This patch
only adds the check. If it has this config, it returns directly
without error.

And this case has an error. For super1, if the length of hostname
is >= 32, it doesn't add hostname in metadata name. Fix this problem
by checking the length of hostname.

And this patch adds a check if device node exists.

Hi Xiao,
Thanks for patches I will review them all later (probably next week).

About this one:

The proposed change is not complete as config may be read from both
/etc/mdadm.conf and /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf. Ideally, you should check them
both in the approach you proposed.

There is also possible to have /etc/mdadm.d/ directory - it is always checked
and read if exists and it cannot be disabled. See load_conffile() and
CONFFILEFLAGS in makefile for details.

Test relies on the global configuration and user may forgot that it is set.
That will give us positive test result because test was not run due to
configuration issue. This is risky, I would prefer fail to indicate
that something is wrong. User can skip this test.

What about adding empty mdadm config to the command `-c ./mdadm_empty.conf`? I
see it as the best option for now. That save use from checking 2 config
locations and any user defined behaviors. Do you see any disadvantages?

As config directory is not configurable we have to accept the risk that
something could be there.
Ideally, you can propose patch with confdir customization to apply same
solution as for conffile (just set it to empty directory) but as it is probably
rarely used we can accept risk here for now (unless somebody reported). I give
it up to you as it not having confdir customization is more like new
feature.

Another possible solution would be to learn mdadm print it's configuration and
print it before running test and fail if not compatible setting detected.

I did not realize that it would be a problem, that for catching!

Thanks,
Mariusz

You can also limit this test to super-1.2 it may depend on config, so we can
specify metadata directly in create command (if it is not specified).

Hi Mariusz

Yes, you're right. Thanks for this.

Ok, we can keep it the way it is.

You mean specifying config file in test case when creating raid?

I'll remove the adding check in the case. I think few people use the config too.

Could you explain more? I don't catch you here.

Yes, with that default config won't be read.

Default metadata could be customized. At first glance, I thought
that you added this because we metadata is not specified so I checked:
	if [[ -z "$NAME" ]]; then
		mdadm -CR "$DEVNAME" -l0 -n 1 $dev0 --force
	else
		mdadm -CR "$DEVNAME" --name="$NAME" --metadata=1.2 -l0 -n 1
	$dev0 --force
        fi


It seems that I forgot to add metadata specifier in first create command. If
you have different metadata than 1.2 you can add --metadata=1.2 and then:

> > > +     local is_super1="$(mdadm -D --export $DEVNODE_NAME | grep
> > > MD_METADATA=1.2)" 

won't be needed. Do I miss something?

Thanks,
Mariusz

Ah, yes, you are right. It doesn't need to check metadata.  I thought
there were other metadata possibilities. Thanks for pointing this
problem out :)
