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.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
While autoassembling a MD raid, the dracut initramfs used an invalid parameter on calling mdadm from inside the udev to incrementally build the raid device. This would prevent the system to boot, if the root device is on a raid device and autoassembly of raid devices was chosen. The invalid parameter was removed and autoassembly for raid devices should now work for root devices from inside the dracut initramfs.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:1521 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE dracut bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:50:19 UTC

Description Harald Hoyer 2011-04-20 10:50:12 UTC
/etc/udev/rules.d/65-md-incremental-imsm.rules:

-RUN+="/sbin/mdadm -I --no-degraded $env{DEVNAME}"
+RUN+="/sbin/mdadm -I $env{DEVNAME}"

This prevents mdraid auto assembly (no UUID given).

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2011-04-20 10:54:19 UTC
btw, "--no-degraded" is not a valid option for "-I"
