Hi Kumaran,

This error ressembles to something that should be fixed by FAI
commit 27c7267badb46918ef669c84aef0275a9fc438c0[1]:

As far as I know FAI in Debian 11 is still affected, so you may
want to upgrade to a newer version or patch your install,
depending on what options are feasible for you.

In hope this helps,

Hi Etienne,

The commit seems to be for FAI version 6.3.1 but I am running version
5.10.3. Would I have any issues if I apply this fix?

Thank you for your assistance.

Regards,
*Kumaran*

Setup Storage Issue

[Kumaran Palayathan]

Hi,

I have this issue with creating RAID0 array from multiple nvme devices.

It always fails with exit code 2 for the echo frozen command and stops
continuing the installation.

Executing: yes | mdadm --create -e 1.0 /dev/md0 --level=raid5 --force --run
--raid-devices=4 /dev/nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme2n1p1 /dev/nvme1n1p1 /dev/nvme3n1p1
Executing: echo frozen > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
Executing: mkfs.xfs -m bigtime=1 -f /dev/md0
Executing: yes | mdadm --create -e 1.0 /dev/md1 --level=raid0 --force --run
--raid-devices=4 /dev/nvme3n1p2 /dev/nvme1n1p2 /dev/nvme2n1p2 /dev/nvme0n1p2
Executing: echo frozen > /sys/block/md1/md/sync_action
sh: 1: cannot create /sys/block/md1/md/sync_action: Permission denied
echo frozen > /sys/block/md1/md/sync_action had exit code 2
Command had non-zero exit code

Hope someone can advise me on how to get past this error.

Thank you and regards,
*Kumaran*
