Curious - md: error in Dmesg

I've noticed the following occasionalmessage using dmesg:

    md: mdadm(pid 19677) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to use new ictls.

I assume this is related to the RAID 1 configuration?  Should I be concerned?  Is this something that would be potentially resolved in fw v 1.06?

Thanks for any comments.

Re: Curious - md: error in Dmesg

I have seen that too in my /var/log/messages before. For me it has been triggered consistently by running "mdadm --detail /dev/md0"
But since it seems to still work, I have ignored the error...

Re: Curious - md: error in Dmesg

New info...  I'm now running syslogd.  I see that the message is logged any time I access the "Status" page in the web admin application.  The web app must invoke mdadm to obtain certain RAID info for the status display.

I ran mdadm manually and the message was also generated in the log.

This tells me its something that need to be addressed in the core D-Link firmware image.  Perhaps it'll be resolved in v 1.06.  Guess we'll see soon enough.

Re: Curious - md: error in Dmesg

It is fine.  It is only a message stating that you ioctl is an older version than was available at the kernal build.  This what DLink chose to use and will not cause problems.
