Description daryl herzmann 2001-04-21 15:11:13 UTC

Here you go.  I am doing an upgrade and this happens.  Maybe something
wrong with my raidtab file?  I am trying to upgrade from 6.2

# cat /etc/raditab
raiddev /dev/md0
        raid-level      linear 
        nr-raid-disks   2
        persistent-superblock 1
        chunk-size    32 
        device          /dev/hdb1
        raid-disk       0
        device          /dev/hda5
        raid-disk       1

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2001-04-21 16:45:18 UTC

We will look into this.

Comment 2 daryl herzmann 2001-05-29 20:47:33 UTC

Any luck with this bug?  I would really like to install RH 7.1 on my machines. 
Do you need more information?  The SGI XFS 1.0 installer fails the same way. 
The RH 7.0 installer fails the same way.  Both RH 7.1 beta installers fail the
same way.

Comment 3 Matt Wilson 2001-07-01 17:02:39 UTC

I'm still trying to figure out how this particular failure can happen.

Comment 4 daryl herzmann 2001-07-02 13:52:12 UTC

Hi Again,
This morning I tried an install with XFS 1.0.1 PR3, but the same error occurs. 
Here is what vt4 reports, when trying to do an upgrade from 6.2

can you try making an initrd with --with=raid1 ?

Comment 6 daryl herzmann 2001-07-10 20:10:03 UTC

I am sorry.  I am not sure if I follow what you want me to do.  Please
elaborate if you think it is worth the time.  

I got around this upgrade problem, by a hack.
1.  umounted raid device
2.  fdisk the partitions of the raid device to type Linux ext2
3.  Move raidtab file
4. Upgrade to Rh 7.1
5. fdisk partitions back to fd
6. move raidtab back.
7. Works!

I have one machine with RedHat 7.1 beta1 on it, with which I could try your
suggestion. If you
are interested in telling me how.

Thanks.

OK, I'm going to try to make the raid starting code more rhobust, you don't need
to do anything further.

Hi!
	Sorry to report, but I just tried upgrading to 7.2 and I still get the same
errors that I reported before.  Any ideas??  Unfortunately, my floppy dump of
the error did not work, but I will try again in a couple of hours to get the
error and attach it here.
