[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#534604: nagios-plugins-standard: check_linux_raid returns UNKNOWN for md10 and above

[Matija Nalis]

Package: nagios-plugins-standard
Version: 1.4.12-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


check_linux_raid malfunctions if system has software RAID devices with two
or more digits. For example, for system having /dev/md10, /dev/md11 etc, the
plugin returns 'UNKNOWN' in automatic mode (if RAID devices are manually
specified it works). Also, if system has both one-digit, and two-digit RAID
devices, the two-digit devices are silently ignored in checks, which is even
more problematic.

Problem is that plugin checks only for 'md[0-9]' devices in /proc/mdstat. 
Trivial patch which fixes that by looking for 'md[0-9]+' instead is attached.
