[Bug 1927005] [NEW] /etc/default/mdadm refers to non-existent /etc/cron.* files

[Dan Watkins]

Public bug reported:

To quote:

# AUTOCHECK:
#   should mdadm run periodic redundancy checks over your arrays? See
#   /etc/cron.d/mdadm.
AUTOCHECK=true

# AUTOSCAN:
#   should mdadm check once a day for degraded arrays? See
#   /etc/cron.daily/mdadm.
AUTOSCAN=true

Neither /etc/cron.d/mdadm nor /etc/cron.daily/mdadm exist (having been
converted to systemd timers at some point, I believe).
