Package: dmraid
Version: 1.0.0.rc14-4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I upgraded dmraid from an earlier version, I don't know which one, but it was
from the pre-udev startup.
After the upgrade the boot stops at waiting for the root filesystem. I get a
busybox prompt. I figured out what to type to continue booting up:
$ modprobe dm-mirror
$ dmraid -ay
$ exit
Then I found bug 499060, message #45 which might solve my problem. So I have
added
the first 2 missing modprobe lines to /etc/.../85_dmraid.rules file which looks
like
this now:
# ...
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe dm-mod"
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe dm-mirror"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="add|change", ENV{ID_TYPE}=="disk",
ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="raid", KERNEL=="hd[a-z]|sd[a-z]", \
RUN+="/sbin/dmraid-activate %k"
After recreating initramfs, and rebooting, I still get the busybox prompt. But
now
I don't have to type "modprobe dm-mirror" anymore, simply executing "dmraid -ay"
works, it creates the devices under /dev/mapper/ and boot goes on. So the
problem
is partly solved.
At the moment I have no more time to debug this further. Why dmraid is not
executed
automatically? Any idea?
Thanks,
Peter
