           Summary: Unable to install on raid 0
    Classification: Mandriva Linux
           Product: Mandriva Linux
           Version: Cooker
          Platform: i586
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: install@...
        ReportedBy: den.jean@...
         QAContact: bugs@...


Description of problem:
Unable to install on a software raid 0 using diskdrake/custom disk partition.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cooker 5/oct/2009


How reproducible:
in installation use custom disk partition
diskdrake already strangely denotes drives as sdi,sdj,sdk
(unlike 2009.1 where they are called sda,sdb,sdc.
Before installation I already tried setting up 2 partitons
as raid 0 for in 2009.1 w/o problems. During cooker installation
however diskdrake complains when trying to format: An error occurred ext3
formatting of md2 failed. I also tried ext4, that fails to.

The same steps work with 2009.1

should be unrelated, but I install by only downloading latest cooker
vmlinuz/all.rdz from alt0, add these to grub and choosing http (with proxy from
work) from boot.

I have a multiboot 2009.1 32 bit and 64, both with a / on a raid 0(md0,md1) and
a /boot on a normal partition. No problems with software raid there.

Do the partitions you want to use already exist ?
It may not be able to update the partition table if the disk is already used
(by the other raid)

The partitions already existed before booting into install. I only add existing
partitions of type linux raid to a raid0 named md2 and then set its mount point
to /. (another partition as /boot).

It may be related to the same bug i encountered in the "Live" edition:

Is the DVD edition able to detect your partitions?

Could be a duplicate of https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48892

the problem is also present on the dvd edition. Running dmraid -v -a y
incorrectly returns "no raid disks". I ran this command with diskdrake open on
Alt-Ctrl-F2

I can install when just at the question

lsmod | grep raid returns nothing
modprobe raid0
mdadm --assemble --scan
mdadmin: /dev/mdx has been started with 2 drives (on my system x:0..4)
cat /proc/mdstat shows active arrays
go back to graphical installer and click next.

Answer to: Why are you running dmraid ?:
Because this was the solution proposed in the supposedly related bug report.
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48892

I use linux software raid (bad experiences with hardware raid controllers and
bios raid) . I do not know dmraid, I just tried the proposed solution.

Hmm indeed it seems it did not load raid* modules
It is supposed to always load them all :(
It was broken but I fixed it in Version 12.68 on 19 October 2009, and it worked
fine in my tests

I could not boot the installed mandriva 2010RC2. Always kernel panic because
not able to mount the root filesystem. In a 2009.1 I created a new initrd and
now it works

/etc/mdadm.conf on the root fs of the M2010 contains incomplete array lines (no
UUID). Correcting this file does not help
so from within booted M2009.1
cp /et/mdadm.conf /M2010root/etc/madm.conf
does not help

mount - bind /dev /M2010root/dev/
(and sys and proc)
chroot /M2010root
mkinitrd -f -v  initrd2.img version
and use this initrd2 in my grub -> works

I also noted that while I used a /boot partition on the second
disk (to not overwrite the link vmlinuz/initrd.im on the my main /boot)
in my installation of M2010, the grub/menu.lst gets incorrect entries
such as (hd0,8) instead of (hd1,8).

above recent comments where on the DVD version (as requested) of RC2.

You said you fixed it on 19 oct, so I tried cooker network install again:
vmlinuz and all.rdz from alt0 in grub -> fpt mirror -> .../devel/...

And now it works, even better: there is prefilled raid page like in diskdrake
in an installed mandriva. The install is still busy, so I do not know if it
boots, will report later on that.

The installer diskdrake did not ask to have a boot on a non raid partition
anymore (it used to do so) -> so I guessed this was a new capability and tried
that. But it didn't boot. So I reinstalled and used a / on a raid and a /boot
on a normal ext2 partition -> it worked.

I am glad mandriva supports software raid during install. This makes it easy to
install a very fast linux (/ on a raid0).

Only small remark, diskdrake should complain if /boot is on a raid partition.

Original Bug Text:


Description of problem:
Unable to install on a software raid 0 using diskdrake/custom disk partition.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cooker 5/oct/2009


How reproducible:
in installation use custom disk partition
diskdrake already strangely denotes drives as sdi,sdj,sdk
(unlike 2009.1 where they are called sda,sdb,sdc.
Before installation I already tried setting up 2 partitons
as raid 0 for in 2009.1 w/o problems. During cooker installation
however diskdrake complains when trying to format: An error occurred ext3 formatting of md2 failed. I also tried ext4, that fails to.

The same steps work with 2009.1

should be unrelated, but I install by only downloading latest cooker vmlinuz/all.rdz from alt0, add these to grub and choosing http (with proxy from work) from boot.

I have a multiboot 2009.1 32 bit and 64, both with a / on a raid 0(md0,md1) and a /boot on a normal partition. No problems with software raid there.
