Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

boot.log
Description of problem:
Starting RPC idmapd: [ OK ]
/etc/rc3.d/S25netfs: line 47: mdadm: command not found
Setting up Logical Volume Management: 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_dhcp70188" now active
This is when booting a KVM domU of the latest Workstation variant (snap #3) which has 2 iSCSI targets acting as PVs.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-9.03.22-1.el6.x86_64
anaconda version 13.21.111
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure tgtd to export 2 iSCSI targets
2. Start KVM domU install with a local disk and attach to the 2 targets
3. Select to use all space on all disks (will create LVM)
4. Select minimal package set
Actual results:
mdadm not found because it is not installed.
Expected results:
If mdadm is necessary I suppose it should have been installed automatically by anaconda.

If you didn't do any RAID partitioning setup, you didn't need mdadm to activate anything therefore it was not marked for installation. If something's changed in initscripts that make mdadm required for all installs now, that is either a bug in initscripts or comps needs to be changed to make mdadm required.
Out of curiousity - what's your mdadm.conf look like?

We should create /etc/mdadm.conf on the basis of RAID devices being created. If there are none, the file should not be created.
