On my isw (Intel ICH9R) soft / fake RAID controller, I've created an array called "Boot en Backup". When I boot, this array does not activate. The other array, on the same controller (called "Data") DOES activate. When I manually run dmraid -ay after boot, the array activates, but the partitions on the array get a name suffixed with "p1", "p2", "p3" etc. instead of just "1", "2", "3". I also get the device names twice, once with the spaces replaced by underscores. To clarify: Right after boot (genkernel created kernel and initrd) in /dev/mapper I have: /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Data /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Data1 /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Data2 /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Data3 After running dmraid -ay I get /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Data /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Datap1 /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Datap2 /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Datap3 /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Boot En Backup /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Boot En Backupp1 /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Boot En Backupp2 /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Boot_En_Backup /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Boot_En_Backupp1 /dev/mapper/isw_dagchgecca_Boot_En_Backupp2 Workaround is to remove the spaces in the array name (on the ICH9R, this can be done by starting the "Storage Manager" application (Windows-only)). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an array with spaces (not sure if the type of controller matters) 2. Boot using the default kernel (gentoo-sources) compiled with genkernel and an initrd with INITRD=yes in /etc/genkernel.conf Expected Results: The device should only be present once, right after boot.

I have no way to reproduce this or test a fix. Please submit a patch.
(In reply to comment #1) > I have no way to reproduce this or test a fix. Please submit a patch. Indeed, either a patch or help with debugging would be great. If I do not hear anything within two weeks, I may close this bug.
Also please check if genkernel 3.4.15 and mdadm works correctly (as Intel nowdays advice people to use mdadm instead of dmraid, and 3.4.15 should contain what may be needed to get everything right).
(In reply to comment #2) > If I do not hear anything within two weeks, I may close this bug. About two weeks have passed, closing. If there is need to re-open this bug: please go ahead. We also (and especially) still welcome patches.
