To answer your question: It seems mdadm on RHEL-8 does not support metadata 0.90 anymore. Is it expected?
We have NOT drop support for metadata 0.90.
Can you do an "rpm -qa |grep mdadm". And share the output?
# mdadm --create /dev/md8 --metadata=0.90 --chunk=64 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/nvme2n1 /dev/nvme3n1
mdadm: array /dev/md8 started.
[root@localhost ncroxon]# mdadm -D /dev/md8

I stand correct. I need to check with my co-worker on the following patch: https://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg63440.html -Nigel I can confirm we have picked up the two patches which print the message you encountered. -Create-add-support-for-RAID0-layouts.patch Since Linux 5.4 a layout is needed for RAID0 arrays with varying device sizes. This patch makes the layout of an array visible (via --examine) and sets the layout on newly created arrays. -Assemble-add-support-for-RAID0-layouts.patch If you have a RAID0 array with varying sized devices on a kernel before 5.4, you cannot assembling it on 5.4 or later without explicitly setting the layout. Hi Karel I looked the codes. The answer is 0.9 metadata doesn't support raid0 from mdadm-4.1-12 any more. So you can remove the case now. Close this bug. Thanks Xiao My comments are not accurate. It can't create new raid0 from mdadm-4.1-12. But if you have created raid0, it can still assemble it. But it needs to specify default_layout=1 when modprobe raid0 Thanks for your feedback. I'll reopen it for util-linux to remove the test from CI tests. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
