No BIOS utility here to scrub the metadata.
I reported one of the duplicates of this bug months ago and I see it
still isn't fixed. I couldn't install Ubuntu on my PC using software
RAID as I have old dmraid metadata on the devices. I've now checked up
and learned what the comments above mean and I've managed to boot
correctly into Ubuntu editing the GRUB command line to have nodmraid,
run dmraid -r -E in Ubuntu and then reboot happily without the dmraid
metadata. This is undoubtedly what the issue is and is correctly
described above, that md and dmraid metadata can't co-exist.
But the issue remains that if existing metadata is there, someone can't
just install Ubuntu using md software RAID. It requires extra steps to
get it working, something less tech users may not be able or inclined to
do.
** Changed in: dmraid (Ubuntu)
