We believe this happened because your disks were part of a BIOS RAID array, and you disabled the RAID functionality in your BIOS without first destroying the array. Is this correct? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers There has been a behavioural change between F-10 and F-11 where in F-10 drives which contain invalid / stale dmraid (BIOS RAID) metadata / which were part of an incomplete BIOS RAID set would be just seen as the raw disks, where as F-11 these drives are ignored. In F-10 in cases where dmraid was detected unwantedly (in case of a complete set, but being disabled in the BIOS for example), the BIOS RAID detection could be avoided with nodmraid. In F-11 this option currently does not work, this is bug 499733. Once 499733 is fixed you can workaround your issue using the nodmraid installer cmdline option. Note that a better solution would be to remove the unwanted BIOS RAID metadata from the disks, this can be done using "dmraid -x", be sure to make backups before doing this! "dmraid -x" should leave your data intact, but better safe then sorry. Also only do this if you really want your disks to not be part of a BIOS RAID set, if for example windows is currently using the disks as a BIOS RAID set you do not want to do this! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 499733 *** |
