This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
Although this bugzilla was approved for RHEL 4.5, we were unable to resolve it in time to be included in the release. Therefore it is now proposed for RHEL 4.6.
I cannot test this further since I no longer use RHEL, but instead use Fedora. HOWEVER, FC7T4 and net installs of rawhide do not correctly detect pre-existing software raid arrays. See 237456. Issue was also reported with FC6 during testing, but was closed by developer as not reproducible. Have now seen this on two machines.
This request was previously evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release, but Red Hat was unable to resolve it in time. This request will be reviewed for a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.
Once again we ran out of time for this one.
isn't that a dupe of bug #172648? we've see the error message "ValueError: md0 is already in the mdList!" for quite a few bugzillas and they should be resolved now. I'll mark this as duplicate if there's no response in reasonable amount of time. Thanks.
Closing this bug as duplicate of bug #172648. If you still have this issue please re-open. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 172648 ***
