Description of problem: I configured my F9 box on top of a BIOS raid array of two SATA HD in RAID1. F9 sees the drive properly and installed successfully. But when I unplug a disk (power being off), the BIOS reports a degraded array, then grub menu is OK but boot fails when trying to find the Volume Group. My hardware config is visible on http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php/product/4127/cat/36 Thanks Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Allways Steps to Reproduce: 1.Power off the machine, 2.disconnect one of the HD drives, 3.power on. Actual results: See screen photo. Expected results: The system would boot with a degraged array Additional info:

This is because of the static mapping tables created by mkinitrd being used during boot rather than running "dmraid -ay" from the initrd, in which case dmraid would discover and activate a linear mapping for the remaining mirror leg. Changed component to mkinitrd for further processing.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
