A new Linux kernel vulnerability, tracked as CVE‑2025‑68374, corrects a subtle but serious RCU lifetime bug in the md (multiple‑device / software RAID) subsystem: maintainers attempted to use RCU to protect a pointer named thread, but passed that raw pointer into md_wakeup_thread before entering...

CVE-2024-26756 exposes a subtle but real availability defect in the Linux kernel’s MD (md_mod) code: during certain RAID reshape workflows the code could register the sync thread directly from persistent device run paths, set the recovery state flag without guaranteeing the corresponding sync...

A subtle race-condition fix in the Linux kernel’s MD (multiple device / RAID) code has been assigned CVE‑2024‑26757 after maintainers discovered that a recent stopping‑sync-thread change could leave the md daemon unable to unregister a sync thread when arrays are toggled read‑only — a hang that...

NAS devices used to be the domain of obsessive home tinkerers and IT admins armed with arcane knowledge about jumper pins, network subnets, and the correct way to stack a drive bay without summoning the wrath of the hardware gods. But by 2025, Network-Attached Storage systems have swaggered onto...

Fundamental question on best practice to allocate space for multiple shares (RAID6 array with 72 TB usable): 1) Initialize as one large volume and set up separate folder shares on this large volume? 2) Chop the 72 TB into smaller volumes - possibly aligning shares with volumes. I initially...
