The problem is that the 'mdadm --examine --brief' doesn't provide the 'metadata=X' key-value in some cases and libblockdev expected that. The easy fix is to not require that key-value. I checked that blivet is ready to get the results with no metadata version set.
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 22-final by Fedora user vpodzime using the blocker tracking app because: Could with high probability happen on some FW RAID installations.
As I recall, the set of fields output by mdadm examine depends on the metadata version of the md superblock. It would certainly be nicer if it were consistent instead.
This partially depends on whether you are talking about --examine or --examine --brief. The latter is specifically intended to be a suitable ARRAY line in an mdadm.conf file, so the information displayed is only what's needed by mdadm to reliably, uniquely identify the array and preserve its current name. I suspect it only outputs a metadata version for 0.90 arrays, and then only because that's a deprecated metadata version, but I could be wrong on the reason for it. Neil might be amenable to making the metadata version output constant.
Discussed at the 2015-05-11 blocker review meeting[0]. Voted as AcceptedFreezeException. AGREED: 1217900 - AcceptedFreezeException - any reasonable fix to a crasher in sensible anaconda usage is a good thing to get in (adamw, 18:09:12) [0]: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-05-11/
We're now past the final freeze - it'd be good to get a build with this fix (and the other accepted FE in libblockdev, which is in POST state) ASAP, so we have longer to test. Thanks!
