Linux softraid.Maybe it is related to:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs#Kickstart_installations_cannot_reuse_existing_RAID_arraysNo. I am not doing a kickstart install.And I succesfully updated two other machines with F10 installed on Linux softraid, to F11.Something in Anaconda is failing to see the second and the third drive on a machine with the first drive being an IDE drive, and the 2nd and the 3rd drive being SCSI drives. It doesn't see the drives, but I can flip over to the ALT-F2 shell, and run mdadm --assemble --scan. mdadm ends up creating /dev/md125, /dev/md126, and /dev/md127 (!), rather than /dev/md[012], but I can mount them manually and see my existing F10 partitions.
Of course they're getting loaded. As I said: I can run mdadm to assemble the RAID and mount them. If they weren't getting loaded, mdadm would do bupkis.
I'd be surprised if mdadm, on it's own: * Surveyed the attached IDE and SCSI hardware * Mapped them to the supporting kernel module(s) * Loaded the kernel module(s)I'd be surprised if mdadm has all that logic built-in. More than likely it just sweeps all the existing device nodes, looking for RAID partitions it can assemble together.
started, could you 'lsmod' and see if the scsi stuff is loaded before running mdadm? mdadm is smart, they might be loaded on demand.
Actually, I can run 'fdisk /dev/sdb' and 'fdisk /dev/sdc' before running mdadm, and read the partition table. Everything is loaded, kernel-wise.
Bug 508554 -- F11 anaconda is seeing the disks, but intentionally ignoring them, for some reason.
