-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
I don't see any workaround to have this kind of DDF container be usable, hence the severity.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Anaconda 8.5 (33.16.4.15)
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a VM with 2 disks and boot into installer
2. Drop to shell and create a DDF container
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
# mdadm --create /dev/md/ddf --name=ddf --level container --raid-disks=2 --metadata=ddf /dev/vda /dev/vdb
# mdadm --create /dev/md/vol0 --name=vol0 --level raid1 --raid-disks=2 /dev/md/ddf
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
3. Rescan the disks
Actual results:
Crash
Expected results:
No crash and container usable
Additional info:
There are two problems here:
1. Anaconda (blivet) crashes when there is a DDF RAID on the system. We have a fix for this: https://github.com/storaged-project/blivet/pull/1031 but it only makes sure the installer doesn't crash, the DDF array is not usable and hidden in the installer, because
2. Historically blivet supports firmware/BIOS RAIDs using dmraid, which is no longer available in RHEL 8. Supporting DDF (and IMSM) arrays using mdadm will require a bigger change in blivet.
Updates image with a proposed fix (for both this issue and rhbz2078815): https://vtrefny.fedorapeople.org/img/rhbz2063791.img (works with both 8.6 and 8.7)
I was able to boot the installer with this, select the DDF RAID set created with mdadm and finish the installation, but we should test it on a real hardware, the mdadm ddf container might be different from the real thing (reported UUID "Linux-MDޭ\xbe\xef " doesn't look correct).
Reproduced on RHEL-8.6 in a VM using steps from comment 0.
Verified with python3-blivet-3.4.0-13.el8, anaconda detected the existing DDF array, showed it in the GUI/TUI and allowed it to use for the installation. The RAID members were not shown. The installed system booted with the array assembled.
Verified:Tested, SanityOnly (not tested on real HW)
