Package: debian-installer Version: tc1
During installation I was successfully able to set up a kernel 2.6 based software raid1 array with XFS on it, but after the reboot the array is not accessible:
---------CUT--------- $ mount /usr XFS: SB read failed mount: /dev/md0: can't read superblock ---------CUT---------
Mounting one of the individual physical devices instead works and they even contain the expected /usr file & directory structure, so the base installation process itself was probably successful. My first thought was that it might be /usr related and made a completely fresh install, this time using /storage as the mount point for the array. But that would not work either.
/etc/fstab looks ok, but I notice a missing /etc/raidtab (if that is still neccessary for 2.6 kernels).
happy hacking
The default install doesn't seem to create entries in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf to start the RAID arrays configured durring install, and the startup-scripts don't seem to start all RAID arrays by default. The only RAID arrays started automatically after a fresh install seem to be the array holding root (if you have root on RAID), as this is started by the initrd scripts.
Creating an appropriate mdadm.conf file for your system should fix the problem.
