This may be related to this bug but I tried the DVD Install for Fedora Core 10 Preview and my fakeraid 5 is not detected by anaconda and warns me about all single drives. I then downloaded the Fedora Core 9 Live CD and I tried to mount my raid array using dmraid and here is the error I got : [root@localhost liveuser]# dmraid -ay ERROR: isw: Could not find disk /dev/sdd in the metadata ERROR: isw: Could not find disk /dev/sdc in the metadata ERROR: isw: Could not find disk /dev/sdb in the metadata ERROR: isw: Could not find disk /dev/sda in the metadata no raid disks The array works under Kubuntu 8.10 and I wanted to replace it with FC10 so I expected it would also work. I am using 4x250GB (/dev/sda to /dev/sdd) in fakeraid 5 and they are mapped as /dev/mapper/isw_dghdhicif_Domoli in Kubuntu 8.10. If you need further information I will be able to provide more on request. Dominic - your bug should be fixed by dmraid-1.0.0.rc15-2. It's unrelated to the prior bug. Same experience - when upgrade Fedora 8 i386 system (root fs, /home and swap on one partitioned disk, and other SW RAID5 md device created from entire disks as above) to Fedora 10 i386, F10 anaconda not recognize RAID5 disks, says about unreadable partition table and offers their initialization! mdadm detect RAID and its members correctly: # mdadm --examine --scan --verbose ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=0db8c483:f6a763d4:097affac:10a28c8c devices=/dev/sde,/dev/sdd,/dev/sdc,/dev/sdb This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping For the original complaint: The partitioning code has been almost entirely rewritten for F11. Can you please retest and let us know if the problems you saw are still present?

Please also retest with F11 and file a new bug if your problem is still present. Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Lots of work has gone into fedora and fake RAID. To my knowledge the usual case works as expected. Feel free to reopen this issue if you find further misbehavior with f12 alpha and later. |
