We had a customer report the following error while assembling the raid device, which is created from Intel VMD configuration of RBSU(bios). > sudo /sbin/mdadm -v --incremental --export /dev/nvme0n1 --offroot /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.355634304e2000530025384500000001 /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-MZXL5800HBHQ-000H3_S5V4NE0N200053 [sudo] password for root: mdadm: /dev/nvme0n1 is not attached to Intel(R) RAID controller. mdadm: No OROM/EFI properties for /dev/nvme0n1 mdadm: no RAID superblock on /dev/nvme0n1 It's because in function path_attached_to_hba(), the string of disk doesn't match hba and thus it fails to be recognized as a valid device.
