Likely simply a leftover from one of the disks in the RAID. The kernel in 11.1 did not have support for that. YaST in 11.2 does not support this. As a workaround delete the partition table on the RAID with dd. -- 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.

So I used the automated yast tools. Initially, the RAID1 was build using BIOS + dmraid via Yast. After problems, the RAID drives were BIOS formatted and software RAID1 built using mdraid via Yast. Have certainly done a lot of poking round trying to clarify the exact problem trying to preserve what (negligible) data I had. But when nothing could be made to work manually, have resorted to BIOS format and clean partition/rebuild. RAID1 has now been rebuilt using 11.2RC1, so I can only recover what has been logged in 11.1 prior to the rebuild. -- 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.

That's nice. Upgrading 11.1 to 11.2 with raid setup leaves a system in an unbootable state. I could manually mount my md devices in rescue, and see the devices (raid1 and 5) How is that a "feature" request for those SW-raid users which will end up nuking their system? What can we do to avoid a full reinstall? Will reinstalling a fresh 11.2 with raid devices cause problems? -- 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.

This has been a working FEATURE. I say that because I was using it at (64bit) 10.3, 11.0, 11.1 and now 11.2. It is as was stated in Comment 20, that when you run the rescue system, THEN and ONLY THEN does the system apparently include the RAID support. In my specific case, after getting 11.2 RC2 work work correctly (with RAID1), I was able to upgrade to 11.2 "GA" without a major glitch. Accordingly, I am marking this as reopened. -- 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.
