I discover when I blundered into firmware security, this was not
installed. I didn't find it in the package manager either.
This is a diversion of course. I found it looking for other stuff.
eg;
My kernel messages claim a fail for mdmonitor which seems to be for raid software, which I don't run.
So I went looking for that program which use to allow stopping, starting
and starting at boot of all processes.
I thought if there is a mdmonitor entry I'll just stop it.
I couldn't find that program.. Is it deprecated?
# urpmf fwupdmgr|grep bin/|sort -u
fwupd:/usr/bin/fwupdmgr
# urpmf mdmonitor|grep service|sort -u mdadm:/usr/lib/systemd/system/mdmonitor.service mdadm:/usr/lib/systemd/system/mdmonitor-takeover.service
So "urpmi fwupd", and "systemctl disable mdmonitor.service".

I do not have raid in use on any of my machines. Should mdmonitor be running ?
Do I need to set xml meta data download to always in drakrpm-edit-media, under Options, then Global options ?

For people who need it, if it's not enabled their system will not boot. For those who don't, it
just causes the journal message, and a slight delay booting.
It isn't disabled automatically for people who are not currently using it, as they may attach
other drives that are set up to use it.
