I don't know what the hiccup was, but for this box it was a death sentence. No linker modules updated, only 2 out of 16 post install processes run. That really leaves you in a bad way...
Well, it seems it was an issue and not just a hiccup. I posted the issue to the linux-raid list on kernel.org (title: "4.15.8 Kernel - Strange linux-raid behavior, not sure where to send it.") and it seems there have been other hit with it as well: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198861 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1552124 Thankfully, since I installed the 4.15.9 kernel, it seems to be fixed (I still have more testing to do, but it looks good) So if anyone else is hit with a raid 1 issue on multi-cpu boxes, there is more information at the links above. (p.s. - not that my opinion matters on the bug tracker choice, but for the number of bugs Arch has (compared to Mozilla, etc.) I don't think there would be much of a delay issue regardless which packages is used - ease of maintenance and an easy migration path probably wins the day) -- David C.
