[Bug 218167] New: mkinitrd does not create a working initrd for booting an lvm2 volume on top of raid
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218167 Summary: mkinitrd does not create a working initrd for booting an lvm2 volume on top of raid Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: leskets@web.de QAContact: qa@suse.de The initrd that mkinitrd-1.2-106.22 creates fails to activate the md-devices, so that lvm2 cannot be started. Enabling raid manually, like this does not help: mkinitrd -f "md lvm2" However the following fix makes things work: *** mkinitrd.orig 2006-10-13 18:33:23.000000000 +0200 --- mkinitrd 2006-11-04 13:54:36.549978810 +0100 *************** *** 1316,1321 **** --- 1316,1322 ---- add_module raid5 add_module linear need_mdadm=1 + root_md=1 ;; *) error 6 "invalid feature $f" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

This is the wrong fix. mkinitrd should detect the required features on it's own. If it doesn't we'll have to fix the detection mechanism, not blindly add yet another tweak. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I call mkinitrd without -f. (The switch still does not help anyways.) The script does not recognize the md device because vgs needs somewhat obscure parameters: vgs --noheadings --options devices $vg_root The value of $vg_root on my computer and the name of my volume group is "local". However: vgs --noheadings --options devices local does not print any devices, while both vgs --noheadings --options devices vgs --noheadings --options devices /dev/local work. The remaining changes in my patch make mkinitrd include only the raid kernel modules that are needed. *** mkinitrd.orig 2006-11-25 13:19:37.000000000 +0100 --- mkinitrd 2006-12-08 14:50:52.643359901 +0100 *************** *** 3134,3141 **** if [ "$root_lvm2" ] ; then # Check for LVM2 on top of md md_list= ! pv_list=$(vgs --noheadings --options devices $vg_root 2> /dev/null | sed -n "s@ *\(/dev/.*\)([0-9]*) *@\1@p" | sort | uniq) ! for dev in $pv_list ; do case $dev in /dev/dm-*) root_dmraid=1 --- 3134,3146 ---- if [ "$root_lvm2" ] ; then # Check for LVM2 on top of md md_list= ! if [ "$vg_root" ] ; then ! vg_root_tmp="/dev/$vg_root" ! else ! vg_root_tmp="" ! fi ! pv_list=$(vgs --noheadings --options devices $vg_root_tmp 2> /dev/null | sed -n "s@ *\(/dev/.*\)([0-9]*) *@\1@p" | sort | uniq) ! for dev in $pv_list ; do case $dev in /dev/dm-*) root_dmraid=1 *************** *** 3147,3152 **** --- 3152,3158 ---- md_dev=${dev##/dev/} md_list="$md_dev $md_list" eval md_conf_${md_dev}=\"$mdconf\" + root_md=1 fi ;; esac *************** *** 3218,3236 **** domu_modules="$domu_modules dm-mod dm-snapshot" fi - if [ -n "$md_list" ] ; then - # load all md modules - add_module raid0 - add_module raid1 - add_module raid5 - add_module linear - if [ -f $root_dir/etc/mdadm.conf ] ; then - # make sure we're overriding the default here - md_list= - root_md=1 - fi - fi - if [ -n "$root_dm" ] ; then # Add all dm modules dm_modules=$(dmsetup table | cut -f 4 -d ' ' | sort | uniq) --- 3224,3229 ---- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Maybe my solution also solves this problem here: The expr-Command was missing in /bin, so the line "rootdev=$(expr substr $o 6 99)" issued an error, $rootdev was empty and so the "root=XXX" kernel paramter was ignored. Adding a line "cp_bin /usr/bin/expr $tmp_mnt/bin" in an early place in mkinitrd solved this problem. Will this be fixed in a future version?
