Hello all, I am testing on a virtual machine a problem it going me crazy. The problem is a rename of the md devices after the upgrade. My system before the update have this configuration: Personalities : [raid1] [raid0] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md0 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1] 1051636 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/1 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk md1: active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0] 3148788 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/1 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk md2 : active raid1 sda3[0] sdb3[1] 16769976 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 1/1 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk md0 is swap, md1 is the root and md2 is the var partition. The first problem i notice is on the upgrade process from the dvd. The system don't see automatically the root partition of the previous system, i have to select "show all partitions" and then select manually the root partition. Then, after the update the system don't boot. I have to go to grub command line, set the kernel and initrd manually, and then the system boot. Then, i make a system update, and the mdadmd is patched. After a reboot the situation is the following: Personalities : [raid1] [raid0] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md0 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1] 1051636 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/1 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk md2 : active raid1 sda3[0] sdb3[1] 16769976 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 1/1 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk md127 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0] 3148788 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/1 pages [0KB], 65536KB chunk md1 is renamed as md127. Now, my questions are basically two: - How i can rename md127 back to md1 ? i cant stop mdadm on this partition, is the root partition, so is mounted. - How i can do a clean update without all this issues? In this case the issue is small, but i have some cases where the md devices are renamed all, as md125,md126,md127 and the system won't boot anymore... I have a backup of the system before the upgrade, so i can make any test if necessary to resolve that issue. Help is needed, i am really disappointed about the update process for the OpenSuSE 12.1 and 12.2 with mdadm drives....
