I have a broken fake raid on my machine (intel p67 chipset with one of the disks missing) and when trying to install F17 yesterday (with up-to-date respin done with pungi) I was greeted with the following message "disk sdXXX has bios raid information and..... blah..... is part of a broken raid, ignoring sdXXX". After ignoring the message later on I wasn't given the chance to use the spare disk. I thought of patching anaconda to ignore the bios-raid-information and to allow me to use the disk as I single HDD but I was wondering if there are any side effects out of this?
Yes, the side effect of this is that if we wrongly detect an array as being broken and allow the user to use it, we will destroy the array, nuking any data on it. IOW ignoring this error is simply not an acceptable option. What you can do is remove the bios raid metadata from the disk by going into a rescue shell on the system and run wipefs on the disk in question Regards, Hans -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
