Hi All,

Recently I had to update a host that uses raid1 for /boot and /boot/efi and I noticed that my resync service is failing with "mdadm: --update=resync not understood for 1.x metadata”.
Does anyone know why 'mdadm-4.2-rc2.el8.x86_64.rpm’ supports it but 'mdadm-4.2-13.el8.x86_64’ not ?

Why the version is not properly bumped if such drastic change is intentional ?


Best Regards,
