• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Timo Boettcher 2003-05-03 06:53:35 UTC]

the /etc/init.d/checkfs script of baselayout 1.8.5.9 tries to start the 
software-raid and fails, because it uses the wrong devices.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a software-raid in /etc/raidtab and mkraid it


2. boot



Actual Results:  
* Starting software RAID...


device /dev//dev/md0 is not described in config file


device /dev//dev/md1 is not described in config file


device /dev//dev/md2 is not described in config file


Failed to start software RAID                   [!!]


Expected Results:  
The script should try to start /dev/md0, not /dev//dev/md0

Sorry for repost, bugzilla said there was an error (400) in my multipart/formdata...

[Comment 4 Timo Boettcher 2003-05-03 07:04:25 UTC]

That patch does fix the /dev//dev/something error.
However, if the partition type of that raid-partition is set to fd (software-raid-auto-detect) and md support is compiled "hard" in kernel (not as a module) the raid is started by the kernel and shouldn't be started again by checkfs

This is fixed in baselayout-1.8.6.6 if you could try that.

[Comment 6 Timo Boettcher 2003-05-04 12:28:44 UTC]

baselayout-1.8.6.6 works for me (that is, it doesn't trow errors).
Until you close it, you should hear somebody who has raid-support as module.

Seems ok, closing.
