** Description changed: - This is related to bug 1313169, I have had a sudden bout of clarity on - the cause of the issue. + [Impact] + Users of rake raid using raid 5 can not boot their systems because the required kernel module is not loaded by the initramfs. The hook script simply needs to request this module be loaded. - I propose this modification to the dmraid installation script as it is a - small but necessary enhancement. + [Test Case] + Install on a fakeraid raid 5 - When dmraid is installed, it adds all the necessary hooks to initramfs- - tools. However, it has one oversight, that the required raid modules are - not added to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. Without these modules, dmraid - will inevitably fail to initialize the array when started since the - kernel would not be able to find the required modules in the image. - - I propose that when dmraid is installed, during installation the script - would check to see if the following items are already in /etc/initramfs- - tools/modules, and append the required modules into the bottom of the - file if it's not, and then rebuild the initramfs, update grub and if - necessary reinstall grub. On uninstall of package, I propose that we - should just warn the user but leave the lines in just in case they're - using something else that also needs the modules. - - The following modules should be appended to the /etc/inmitramfs- - tools/modules file: - - raid0 - dm_raid - raid1 - raid10 - raid456 - async_raid6_recov - async_memcpy - async_pq - async_tx - raid6_pq - async_xor - xor - libcrc32c + [Regression Potential] + None. Seriously, the worst that can happen is that the requested module is not loaded anyway.
