good blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdb debug output
Note broken blkid == util-linux-ng-2.17.2-2.el6, good blkid == util-linux-ng-2.17.2-1.el6. The sdc output with the "broken" blkid still does the right thing as there is no partition table there (as it is a striped set). Note to QA, this requires a specific setup and hardware I can reproduce this at will and I'll verify it once kzak has a fixed version ready, can you qa-ack this please? util-linux-ng-2.17.2-5.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/util-linux-ng-2.17.2-5.fc13 Fixed in util-linux-ng-2.17.2-3.el6.
Changes:
* non-linux-raids (via, intel, ...) are expected on whole-disks only
* MD 1.x superblock contains info about the superblock offset, libblkid uses
this info to check the superblock position on the device
* DDF superblock position is also verified against info from DDF anchor header
* MD 0.90 superblock contains size of the raid members (for RAID > 0),
libblkid uses this size to check if the device fits into the raid
setting. This check is not enough, so for whole-disks libblkid still
checks if the area where is the superblock is covered by any partition.
This test will also improved (partition table has to fit info the device).
Note that the reported problem is possible to reproduce without Intel BIOS RAID, by:
mdadm -q --create /dev/md8 --metadata=0.90 \
--level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
fdisk /dev/md8
blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
blkid -p -o udev /dev/sdb
the correct output from the blkid command has to be TYPE="linux_raid_member"
(In reply to comment #8) > This test will also improved (partition table has to fit info the device). s/will/was/ util-linux-ng-2.17.2-5.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
