I can confirm that the version in feisty works for me! I've tested it with a vanilla kernel and the 2.6.20 in the feisty repository. The boot though does still not work without adding break=mount on the grub commandline. The symptom is that the boot process simply hangs while polling the hardddisks every second or so. If I press ctrl+d at the busiybox shell the boot continues as it should. This problem is unrelated to dmraid, I suppose. -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

dmraid lists the stripe factor in sectors, not kb, so those values are correct. 256 sectors is 128 KB. The stripe factor is the number of sectors written to each disk before moving to the next disk in the stripe. -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I managed to activate apt-get with DVD repository, but am stuck with
Feisty glibc conflict at the moment. See the end of my post for some

I think that backporting a new version of dmraid to edgy would help with
some issues.
I will install Ubuntu Edgy on my old computer to have a development
system.
I don't know if I manage to finish the RAID installation with the new
glibc from Feisty.
Eventually it is easier to backport dmraid and fix the installer than to
fiddle around with manual guesswork to imitate all necessary
installation steps.

Ok, I have tried harder: I have found out how the /dev/mapper directory can be created. I cannot create an ext3 partition with the partition manager.

After a bit more investigation it turned out to be more related to the order things were started on my system. Renaming the dmraid script to zdmraid (so it's last in the sort order) seems to have helped on my system. If I did break=mount I could manually run dmraid -ay, and everything would be fine, but a normal boot did not work. It seems to be related to either time (something had not fully loaded yet), or order (a pre-req was not loaded yet). I don't know for certain yet, but I have a system now that boots perfectly on a striped raid set (Silicon Image 3112). PS.

Disregard my modified packages. It seems that it is not as simple as I thought to move the devices out of /dev/mapper. I spent a few hours trying to debug it last night and I concluded that it will take a lot more work to make this happen, so I won't bother. Based on my IRC discussions with Richard Bailey, it sounds like in addition to the boot time lvm script, the installer incorrectly recognizes the dmraid evices as LVM volumes, and takes inappropriate action with them that prevents installation from continuing.

Phillip, It doesn't seem to create the /dev nodes for me. I am running on AMD64 and maybe that is why. I booted up with the AMD64 desktop installer. I downloaded the rc13-0ubuntu1 source from above and your diffs (the 3rd one). Compile it with sudo pbuilder build dmraid_0.9.9+1.0.0.rc13-0ubuntu1.dsc like ben did above. I then installed the package.

I believe I patched dmraid to not create the dev nodes in /dev/mapper, but just in /dev instead. This should fix the problem with the lvm boot script. I also have been working with a user trying to install edgy using this package and it sounds like the installer thinks they are lvm volumes and chokes, so hopefully this will fix that as well. ** Attachment added: dmraid_0.9.9+1.0.0.rc13-0ubuntu2.source.tgz http://librarian.launchpad.net/5009118/dmraid_0.9.9%2B1.0.0.rc13-0ubuntu2.source.tgz -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 54246] Re: DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15
The 3 min delay at boot is due to a change that was made to the lvm package since dapper. It's script in the initramfs now checks to see if the boot path starts with /dev/mapper and if so, assumes it is an LVM volume and attempts to dissect the remaining part of the path into volume group and volume name components, then spins in a loop for up to 3 minutes waiting for the volume group to appear in /dev, which never happens since we are using dmraid, not lvm. If you do not use LVM, you can remove /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts /local-top/lvm and then run update-initramfs. That should rebuild your initramfs without the lvm script. -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If you want to get more information during boot, to troubleshoot why it hangs for a few minutes or any other issue, when grub comes up edit the grub command and remove the quiet and splash options from the end.

I just did it and now I don't get the messages when I boot, but there are still no entries in /dev/mapper when I boot and if I run sudo dmraid -ay when I'm running the entries come up in /dev/mapper. - rmjb -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The dmraid package in edgy places update-initramfs hooks and rebuilds the initrd correctly.

The attached package works for me, but the dmraid is not set up on boot.

Well... I'm not so sure it is ok. It worked only once. I upgrade some packages, and it didn't worked anymore then. Does it work correctly for someone ? I'll try some other tests.

So we can confirm that the bug is fixed in rc11 of dmraid! It would be really bad if dmraid rc11 would not bee included in edgy. Since this is a bugfix for the otherwise not working dmraid in the current repo, I guess there will be an exception made for that package to go into edgy!? -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also confirm that dmraid 1.0.0-rc11 makes it work !!

I've built a .deb of dmraid 1.0.0rc11 that works for me on 2.6.17. Maybe someone else could give this one a shot and see if it fixes the problem.

I build the latest dmraid (1.0.0-rc11), and tried it with my configuration without any success. (By the way, dmraid 1.0.0-rc11 does not build on gcc-4.1, but on gcc-4.0 it does.) ** Changed in: Ubuntu Sourcepackagename: None = dmraid -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 54246] Re: DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15
I've removed the sanity check in drivers/kernel/dm/dm-stripe.c and built my own kernel. I've not tested it recently with a new dmraid version, but if you do it, don't forget to rebuild your initramfs! I would appreciate to get this fixed soon, since many of my friends have such a setup und therefore I can't get them to use GNU/linux even when some of them really wan't to switch away from Windows. -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Does it work with this sanity check removed ? I'll try it asap on my machine. Is this check easy to find ? or maybe you can post a patch file on this bug so I will not have to look for this check. -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 54246] Re: DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15
I've just ifdef'd out the sanity check. It does work this way but
remember, this check is a feature, not a bug ;-) It detects broken raid
bioses which assign an erroneous number of blocks (not divisible). So,
if you fill up a filesystem up to a non existing block, you will get an
I/O error and data is lost on that sector. My nvidia raid bios is broken
in such away, but I have not encountered any problems with the below
fix, for many months running with it. In the long run, dmraid should
truncate the target length, so that it will be divisible by the chunk
size, to work around broken bioses. rc11 should do this allready, at
least from what I've hard. Some people who report problems with rc11 may
have forgotten to rebuild their initramfs. So I'm unshure if rc11 is
still broken or not. In any case the below fix will make it usable.
Locate kernel-source-dirdrivers/md/dm-stripe.c and surround the sanity
check starting at line 108 with
#if 0
#endif
Save and recompile your kernel and maybe update your initramfs.
It should look like this:
#if 0
if (ti-len (chunk_size - 1)) {
ti-error = Target length not divisible by
chunk size;
/* return -EINVAL;*/
}
width = ti-len;
if (sector_div(width, stripes)) {
ti-error = Target length not divisible by
number of stripes;
/* return -EINVAL;*/
}
#endif

[Bug 54246] Re: DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15
Same problem here (dual Opteron 246 on Asus K8N-DL with 2 120gig SATA in RAID0 configuration). It looks like this breaks any raid configuration depending on dmraid - not only to boot from RAID, but also to simply mount and access existing arrays. I'd think the latest version of dmraid should probably be included in repositories as soon as possible. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed -- DMRAID stopped to work in kernels 2.6.15 https://launchpad.net/bugs/54246 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
