+* Mon Jan 21 2013 Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@redhat.com> - 3.2.6-12
+- Launch mdmon via systemctl to avoid it ending up in the wrong cgroup
+  and getting killed in the boot process when switching from the
+  initrd to the real root.
+- Resolves bz879327
+
 * Tue Jan 8 2013 Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@redhat.com> - 3.2.6-11
 - Move code to leave udev cgroup into mdmon and excute it after we
   work, to make sure it actually does the right thing.
