So my question is: do my explanations fit your expectations about how the proposal should work on top of "virtual disks"?
Setting the needinfo on Shivani Changela and Nanda Kishore again, for them to reply to my questions about expectations and booting from software RAIDs. Talking about expectations, let me clarify two points. First, in the logs attached by Shivani Changela I can see these systems use EFI to boot. So everytime I say "partition of type bios_boot" in comment#3 I should had actually said "an ESP (EFI) partition". All other considerations stay exactly as they are. That being said, in the mentioned logs uploaded by Shivani Changela I can see this: A disk "/dev/sda" with a total size of 220 GiB and GPT partition table It contains a single "/dev/sda1" partition of 100 GiB A disk "/dev/sdb" with a total size of 910 GiB and GPT partition table It contains no partitions A disk "/dev/sdc" with a total size of 440 GiB and GPT partition table It contains a single "/dev/sdc1" partition of 100 GiB A disk "/dev/sdd" fully empty (not even partition table) A software RAID1 called "/dev/md/VirtualDisk01" formed by sda1 and sdc1 It contains a GPT partition table with: - An ESP (EFI) partition - Two Linux partitions formatted with XFS - A swap partition According to what I explained in comment#3, we (the YaST Team) wouldn't expect such system to be able to boot, since there is no ESP partition allocated in any real disk. The only ESP partition is inside a software RAID that is backed by partitions. So my question here is: does such system boot? So far, we had no evidence of S130/S140 controllers being able to boot from a software RAID if the needed partitions were not present in real physical disks. If you can prove that works, we would need to reconsider how the proposal works in those cases. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
