If you are not careful, you'll loose your data when installing! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start to install openSUSE 13.1 on a system using Intel RAID (ICH10) Actual Results: Existing partitions are detected by the kernel, but are ignored by YaST Expected Results: Existing partitions should be displayed in YaST In openSUSE 12.3 YaST displays the partitions of the RAID and suggests to add new partitions, keeping existing partitions. -- 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.

(On comment #2) Unfortunately I restored a backup with a different layout to the RAID after that. If the layout were actually invalid before that, I wonder why openSUSE 12.3 had no problems with it.
Good question, but I do not have an answer (not even a theory) yet.
I also don't know whether it is important to know that the two 1TB disks have 4kB physical sectors, but 512 bytes logical sectors. I can try openSUSE 13.1 again with the new layout in the evening.
That would be really helpful.
The layouts were created with WinPE 3 (32bit) using Acronis True Image Home Premium 2014's Universal Restore. I guess that the program doesn't create invalid partition layouts.
If you manage to recreate the faulty layout, I'd be interested in 1) cat /proc/partitions 2) fdisk -l -u=sectors /dev/md126 (and the same for RAID components) 3) parted -s /dev/md126 unit s print 4) strace -o /tmp/strace.out -s 512 parted -s /dev/md126 unit s print && cat /tmp/strace.out 5) dd if=/dev/md126 of=md126.mbr bs=512 count=1 That should shed some light on this.
