The problem is that I have created the MD RAID device as "/dev/md/raid1" (resp. "/dev/md/MyPC:raid1"), but "mkinitrd" is *only* creating the device "/dev/md127" in the final installed system! This discrepancy in naming handling of the "mkinitrd" causes problems later on, while the "/dev/md/raid1" (resp. "/dev/md/MyPC:raid1") does not exist in the finished installed system. The problem seems to be with the creation of the "/dev/md" devices: # ll /dev/md total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 7 01:25 MyPC:raid1 -> ../md127 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 7 01:25 MyPC:raid1p1 -> ../md127p1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 7 01:25 MyPC:raid1p2 -> ../md127p2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 7 01:25 MyPC:raid1p3 -> ../md127p3 # ll /dev/md127* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 127 Jul 7 01:25 /dev/md127 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 0 Jul 7 01:25 /dev/md127p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 1 Jul 7 01:25 /dev/md127p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 2 Jul 7 01:25 /dev/md127p3 Apparently "mkinitrd" follows the symlink of "/dev/md/MyPC:raid1*" instead of using the actual name and thus resulting in only setting up "/dev/md127*" and not "/dev/md/MyPC:raid1*" as well as /dev/md127*"!!?? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It seems the problem with the MD device name comes from the fact that "/proc/partitions" is being used to find the block devices in use, and while this is "/dev/md127*" the naming path "/dev/md/raid1*" is being ignored -- except when looking for "container"s, there the device name is being fetched correctly (mdadm --examine --brief --scan). After the first reboot during installation, I booted into "rescue" to see, what had been written into "/etc/mdadm.conf": # cat /mnt/etc/mdadm.conf DEVICE containers partitions ARRAY /dev/md/raid1 UUID=d3dae8ad:1eead1cf:89bad45c:144bef54 Interesting, especially the UUID, while doing: # mdadm --examine --scan ARRAY /dev/md/raid1 metadata=1.0 UUID=ade8dad3:cfd1ea1e:5cd4ba89:54ef4b14 name=MyPC:raid1 gives another (correct) result! Notice the UUID -- For some odd/strange reason the UUID entered into the "/etc/mdadm.conf" file seems to be a newly generated UUID which has nothing to do with the UUID found on the MD device! From where did that come from??? On the other hand, the "/etc/mdadm.conf" file in "initrd" has the contents: ARRAY /dev/md127 metadata=1.00 name=MyPC:raid1 UUID=ade8dad3:cfd1ea1e:5cd4ba89:54ef4b14 Notice that the UUID here is correct, but the MD device path has been shorten to "/dev/md127" instead of "/dev/md/raid1" (manual named) or "/dev/md/MyPC:raid1".(automagically named by "mdadm -A --scan"). Rebooted the system in order to allow for the installation to finish, and ends up with having "/dev/md/raid1*" as well as "/dev/md127*" exists, *but* after having rebooted the system (once more) _only_ "/dev/md127*" is created!! During shutdown the error message: mdadm: error opening /dev/md/raid1: No such file or directory is printed just after the last "Sending all processes the KILL signal...". Changing the "/etc/mdadm.conf" file in "initrd" to: DEVICE containers partitions ARRAY /dev/md/raid1 metadata=1.0 name=MyPC:raid1 UUID=ade8dad3:cfd1ea1e:5cd4ba89:54ef4b14 results in having "/dev/md/raid1*" as well as "/dev/md127*" nodes created, when system is up, but also results during booting in the error message just after "Creating device nodes with udev": mdadm: /dev/md127 not identified in config file. but do not result in any error message from "mdadm" later on during the shutdown process. Assuming that this error message is due to the fact that the startup scripts in "initrd" are referring to "/dev/md127*" and not to "/dev/md/raid1*", I changed all occurrences of "/dev/md127*" to "/dev/md/raid1*" in the "initrd" and rebooted with this new "initrd". Unfortunately, the result is that *no* MD devices at all have been created in "/dev"! In fact, the system is starting up using "/dev/sda*" instead"!! Sigh. ;-) BTW, there is a minor typo in the shutdown message of the MD devices: /dev/md127p3 umounted (<== BUG - should be: unmounted ("n" missing)) Shutting down MD Raid :-D -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
