 |
|
Ok,
So recently I've noticed that when I boot up my Gentoo box I get:
| Quote: | | Starting up RAID devices ... [!!] |
I have three 1TB disks all set to "Linux RAID autodetect" with fdisk and I've created a perfectly fine /dev/md0 node for the three disks. The array is RAID-0 and houses and ext4 filesystem and seems to mount fine.
I can't fine any error messages related to RAID but then again I'm not sure what I should be looking for in /var/log/messages :S.
Any ideas? |

Sounds like an init script is trying to assemble an array that was already assembled by the kernel.
I would probably add raid=noautodetect to the kernel line in grub.conf and let the init script hande it.
dmesg might show you more than what you will find in /var/log/messages. |

Ok so it looks like a bug has been raised against this:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/295397
The script in question is: /lib/rcscripts/addons/raid-start.sh :
| Code: | .....
.....
if [ -x /sbin/mdadm ] ; then
ebegin "Starting up RAID devices"
create_devs ${devs}
output=$(mdadm -As 2>&1)
ret=$?
[ ${ret} -ne 0 ] && echo "${output}"
eend ${ret}
fi
.....
..... |
There is no message printed after the "Starting up RAID devices ..." message at boot but there is a blank line. Doing a mdadm -As manually on my system returns nothing - no error, it just returns. So it looks like a problem with the return value.
I do not need the RAID partitions to be autodetected or anything like that since it has all been done manually and an /etc/mdadm.conf exists.
I also have mdadm added to my boot run level so I'm not sure why this script above even exists :S
Needless to say grep of "RAID" in /var/log yields nothing.
This script seems redundant for my uses - any way to remove it from the boot sequence? |

raid=noautodetect
added to the kernel line of grub.conf didn't work by the way. |
