Subject: Intermittant software raid issues with rawhide,what component to
file against?
I have been having some intermittant problems booting where a raid device
isn't usable and the boot halts. I have only gone through this twice,
but both times the first time it happened it referred to one of the
two mirrors, after rebooting it referred to the other such array and
then the third reboot worked. I have some other arrays with just one
device in the mirror and those weren't a problem either time I had to
go through that process.
In both cases the error message referred to a problem with the superblock,
but I expect the real problem was that the array wasn't set up properly.
I am not sure what component to file this under? (As of yesterday, a
search
for rawhide bugs mentioning raid in the summary turned up zilch.)

What version of fedora? What kind of raid? raid0, raid1, raid5? Are you
using strictly software raid? I.e, not a true hardware raid controller?
What is in your /etc/mdadm.conf?
I have seen problems when mkinitrd did not include the proper kernel modules
in the initrd. If your system is up-to-date, then that should not be the
problem. Also, I have had problems with multipath and always use the kernel
parm "nompath" when doing a Fedora install since anaconda seems to be
confused by bios' with so-called raid controllers that are being used in ide
only format.
Currently, I am having issues with a rawhide installation and software raid
since the raidsets are no longer started by sysinit, but are supposedly
started by udev. I have to do a manual mdadm --assemble /dev/mdX --scan to
get some of the arrays going.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of love in Fedora land for raid probs, but
then, it just may be me.
