From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012 Description of problem: raidstart is linked against libpopt, libpopt.so is located in /usr/lib, but my /usr partition is a raid level 0... so RH linux dies booting! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.make /usr a raid particion with RH 7.1 2.upgrade to RH 7.2 3.just boot... Additional info:
I also have this problem with a /data raid... The boot process tries to mount my raid0 parition (/data) BEFORE it mounts /usr, so it drops me to a maint. prompt.
Confirmed, but it's actually worse than that. raidstart tries to run after having mounted only /, which means it will fail if /usr is on a separate partition, regardless of whether it is itself a raid partition. The only solution I found was to repartition so that /usr was on /. -dtalk@prairienet.org
