Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.81.1
Severity: important
Greetings,
Currently if root filesystem is an MD device (raid1 in my case), mkinitrd
creates initrd image which has hardcoded names of physical devices on
which raid is built on.
To be more concrete, it creates a file in initrd cramfs called "/script"
contains commands like:
-- /script --
ROOT=/dev/md0
mdadm -A /dev/md0 -R -u <MD device uuid> /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
---- end ----
This works great until you add/remove any other SCSI or SATA disks, device
names changed and once you reboot your machine you'll get degraded or even
inaccessible array (system becomes unbootable).
Possible solution is to create script like /sbin/mdrun which will
automatically detect partitions raid built on and use them instead of
hardcoded "when mkinitrd runs" names.
Best regards,
Dmitry N. Hramtsov
