Description of problem:mageia2 doesn't recognize mdadm-builded RAID volumes I have installed mageia2-x86_64 from nothing (this means It's not an upgrading of an already existing mageia1) on a LVM lying itself on a mdadm-builded raid volume (metadata=0.9, level=5, #devices=4); the system involves also a back-up raid6 volume. The first time I have booted, everything was OK, and KDesktop environment didn't freeze (see bug 7000). But the second time, splash stopped at midboot, saying it didn't recognize md5, md6, md1, md127 Here below is the /etc/mdadmconf file ARRAY /dev/md5 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=30b3de45:455285d8:0037686d:9fe88fa7 devices=/dev/sdd2,/dev/sdc2,/dev/sdb2,/dev/sda2 auto=yes ARRAY /dev/md6 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=1da98178:3c812ec8:c03ac0ef:38b69865 devices=/dev/sdd3,/dev/sdc3,/dev/sdb3,/dev/sda3 auto=yes ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=6d8457a0:23583d9e:217904e6:da58c8b3 devices=/dev/sdd7,/dev/sdc7,/dev/sdb7,/dev/sda7 auto=yes ARRAY /dev/md/stock level=raid6 metadata=1.2 num-devices=6 UUID=2e823ba0:121359f8:9c8a5fc5:979774ce name=common:stock devices=/dev/sdf9,/dev/sde9,/dev/sdd9,/dev/sdc9,/dev/sdb9,/dev/sda9 auto=yes I had the same problem with mandriva 2011, I never could use. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):mageia2-x86_64 How reproducible:install mageia2 on system where exits mdadm-build raid volumes; if possible install it on a LVM lying on a raid volume Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Hi, Same here, second disk of 2-disk LVM managed RAID1 not recognized under a freshly installed Mageia 2. I have no problem to boot up because Mageia is installed on a third drive. I won't be able to use Mga2 if raid isn't functional.

RAID on Mageia2 is functional; avoid raid name as /dev/md/stock; I have simply renamed this raid volume /dev/md125 (metadata=1.2) and everything now fine works. Amazingly the system needs an adaptation delay, as it has to learn the things. Be patient. alder
I really don't know what "learn" means but yes my RAID array worked on the third or fourth boot sequence without my intervention ! To close the question where should I use the simpler naming convention ? In mdamd.conf ? Merci !
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life. Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'. 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 Mageia version prior to Mageia 2'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 Mageia 2 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 Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. 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 Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- The Mageia Bugsquad
