Just installed fedora 16 (bios boot and boot partition non raid, swap and encrypted LVM PV on raid1, LVM group with four LVs tmp, root, home and var). I got exactly the same situation/kernel. 750Gb is going to take a long time I guess. PS (unrelated) So far the fedora 16 installation experience has been pretty bad. First I tried preupgrade (from f15). Didn't work because var on different partition ... Then I tried a new installation, but anaconda couldn't handle dual monitors apparently (worked fine with f15) Then I installed /boot on raid, but didn't work either (grub2 no such disk found). Reinstalled and put on /boot non raid. grub2 works, but run into the dracut problem above ... :-) My current workaround: unpack initramfs, remove lib/dracut/hooks/pre-mount/10dmraid-waitclean.sh, and repack initramfs Just got bitten by this today after a power outage. I run RAID1 specifically to avoid outages as much as possible, waiting for the array to be synched means waiting for 2+ hours with no way to get anything done. I had to run an older kernel to get the system going. Peter's workaround works as expected, I didn't notice any harmful side effects. My platform is x86_64, so this isn't i686-only. Changing arch to all. This is pretty bad - I have to drive to the server room today in order to discover the server has been waiting for its 4-way RAID-10 array to become synced. dracut-013-20.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-013-20.fc16 Package dracut-013-20.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
