Hallo! It seems mdadm doesn't recognises aoe block devices automatically as part of raid: monosan:~ # fgrep md9 /etc/mdadm.conf ARRAY /dev/md9 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=23882ab5:8346ffa3:0e2e4f1e:419f2ac9 monosan:~ # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name [...] 253 16 1074790400 dm-16 253 17 8589934592 dm-17 152 2832 1074790400 etherd/e11.1 monosan:~ # mdadm -As mdadm: /dev/md9 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2). monosan:~ # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md9 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 dm-16[0] 1074790336 blocks [2/1] [U_] monosan:~ # mdadm /dev/md9 -a /dev/etherd/e11.1 mdadm: re-added /dev/etherd/e11.1 monosan:~ # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md9 : active raid1 etherd/e11.1[1] dm-16[0] 1074790336 blocks [2/2] [UU] mdadm version 2.6.6 although it is reported as: monosan:~ # mdadm -V mdadm - v2.6 - 21 December 2006 monosan:~ # uname -r 2.6.25-default Why isn't it scanned automatically? Is this a bug to be filed?
