[Bug 656217] New: Software RAID Devices on AHCI Drives Fail On Reboot
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656217 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=656217#c0 Summary: Software RAID Devices on AHCI Drives Fail On Reboot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: malv_star@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=402392) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=402392) Dmesg output for failed boot. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 SUSE/3.6.12-0.7.1 Firefox/3.6.12 Creating a software RAID during install, on drives that are set in BIOS to use AHCI, causes these RAID devices to become inaccessible after first reboot. For example, creating a mirrored RAID during install (say /dev/md0) and mounting it at, for example /home, will causes the "repair filesystem" command-line prompt to display during boot. The system claims that fsck failed for one or more devices, and that the filesystem must be repaired manually. In fact, the device is perfectly accessible when references as /dev/md0, but using /dev/disk/by-id/md-xxxxx it is not. Changing the fstab entry from using /dev/disk/by-id to /dev/md0 allowed the system to boot perfectly normally. Further details follow, plus attachments. This problem was observed with multiple file systems on the RAID device, on multiple machines. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a mirrored software RAID during install 2. Proceed normally, and after between one and three reboots, the RAID will become inaccessible on boot. Actual Results: The software RAID is no longer mounted at boot time. Expected Results: The software RAID should be mounted normally. A workaround is to alter the fstab to set the system to search for /dev/md0 instead of using the /dev/disk/by-id reference. -- 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.
