Consistently hitting this bug while testing that rawhide can install on top of previous installations. This test matrix focused on installing distros on top of raid0 storage, then installing rawhide. First install raid0 (release noted below), then clearpart rawhide GUEST TEST FROM TO RESULT ================================================================= vguest1 clearpart --linux RHEL-4-U7 rawhide FAIL (bug#491729) vguest2 clearpart --linux RHEL-5-Server-U3 rawhide FAIL (bug#491729) vguest3 clearpart --linux F-10-GOLD rawhide FAIL (bug#491729) vguest4 clearpart --linux F-9-GOLD rawhide FAIL (bug#491729)

might be stating the obvious but from bug 469466 a workaround is to dd from /dev/zero to initialise the disks. then reboot. not pretty - just in case anyone desperately needs to get past this bug before it's fixed.
Created attachment 339825 [details] The patch that solves the issue. This error is caused from previous mdadm command failures where the activation of the devices did not fully complete. On my tests, when I included the "--run" argument in the create command, this bug went away.
This patch just went in. It will be present in anaconda version 11.5.0.46.
