When booting up, checkfs will attempt to start up all of the raid devices in checkfs. If a kernel is configured to automatically start all the software raid devices this will cause the checkfs to fail. Specifically, when "/sbin/raidstart /dev/md/0" is run by checkfs raidstart will return and error... example: beavis ~ # /sbin/raidstart /dev/md/0 /dev/md/0: already running beavis ~ # echo $? 1 beavis ~ # So even though all the software raid devices are working properly an error will be thrown as /sbin/raidstart throws an error even if the raiddev is running. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure kernel to automatically start up raid (persistant raid software devices) 2. create raid device with proper entries in /etc/raidtab 3. reboot note: I have not tried using the mdadm tools. Actual Results: Checkfs hangs machine and asks for root password to fix the problem - when no problem exist. Expected Results: booted as normal - all raid devices are working. beavis ~ # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.21 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.4.28-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.28-gentoo-r8 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.11 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r8 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/java-experimental" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 apache2 apm arts avi bcmath berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib calendar clearpasswd cpdflib crypt cups curl dba doc emboss encode extensions foomaticdb fortran ftp gd gdbm gif gmp gpm gtk2 iconv imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit ldap libg++ libwww lzw-tiff mad maildir memlimit mikmod mime motif mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pam-mysql pcre pdflib perl png postgres python quicktime readline sasl sdl session sharedext sharedmem slang soap sockets spell ssl svga tcpd tetex tidy tiff tokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts vhosts vorbis wddx xml2 xmlrpc xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
