Description Leo 2012-11-27 12:53:00 UTC 
Creating a software array with mdadm on Ununtu 11.10 defaults to meta-data 1.2.

The device with meta-data 1-2 is something along the lines of /dev/md/2

That causes gparted to fail (Libparted Bug found; could not stat device /dev/md/2)

Creating the array with --metadata=0.90 works as the device created will be /dev/md2

Thank you Leo for your interest in GParted and reporting this problem.

I believe that the problem you reported is the same as:

Bug #678379 - Could not stat device /dev/md/0 - No such file or directory

As such I am marking this bug as a duplicate.

If possible, would you be able to test the patch contained in the above listed bug report and post your results in that bug report?
