If there are any linux raid partitions (type fd) for which mkraid has not been performed yet, the scripts invoked by the 'raidstart /dev/md0' command in the rescue environment crash in isys.py line 37 with a complaint: ValueError: bad md magic in device This in spite of the fact that the uninitialized type fd partitions are not associated with md0. This prevents access to md0. Instead the scripts should perform initialization for partitions that do have valid raid superblocks, and ignore partitions that do not, but still invoke the raidstart program with provided arguments. -- Chris
This bug exists in RH 6.x rescue environment too.
Should be fixed.
