stupid question but do you have dmraid tools installed ? (you can check by installed gparted with USE="dmraid") I do have dmraid installed. Nevertheless I installed (unstable) gparted with USE flag dmraid and gparted recognizes my raid devices properly. Unfortunately hald still does not recognize them. btw, does your issue look like bug #262981 ? It might be related, however I use the stable hal version and nevertheless it does not work: [ebuild R ] sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8 USE="X acpi crypt -apm -debug -dell -disk-partition -doc -laptop (-selinux)" 0 kB Bump. Should I report upstream? looks like upstream won't do any effort to add this feature. Did it ever worked ? If it did, you should point that fact to upstream. (In reply to comment #6) > looks like upstream won't do any effort to add this feature. Did it ever worked > ? If it did, you should point that fact to upstream. Nope they won't. See here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2009-June/013432.html Hal seems to be in the process of being deprecated and thus no more features are added. It seems to be replaced by DeviceKit and libudev. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-May/011560.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/devkit-devel/2009-April/000140.html But nevertheless good news: As Kay Sievers points it out in his reply to my upstream posting: > Current work focuses on the device-mapper > udev integration regarding this problem And no it never worked afaik. Indeed, HAL will just get bug fixes from now on. Now is probably the best time to get in touch with DeviceKit-disk upstream to make sure that it will properly support dm-raid devices. Closing.

For convenience in case somebody reads this: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/devkit-devel/2009-July/000391.html This issue seems to be almost sorted out in DeviceKit-disks. |
