Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dmraid
Either running with "libata ignore_hpa=0" option or ata_ignore_hpa=0 or no options at all, after correctly installing dmraid sudo apt-get dmraid -ay dmraid -ay and RAID setup correctly, after shutdown, RAID information is lost forever (HPA) and can never recover. At next boot (turn PC on) , the Matrix Storage controller BIOS reports "Offline Member" That situation CAN'T be fixed within windows and a full boot into Ubuntu 9.04 is needed to recover RAID. Once Ubuntu has restarted, next boot (without shutting down PC) RAID appears visible in BIOS and can work correctly within Windows, but as Soon you turn of PC (either from windows or Ubuntu) next boot you get "Offline member". This situation can't be resolved, the only way around it is to never boot into Ubuntu, create the RAID within BIOS and only use Windows Vista. In that way, RAID is always online, but as soon as you Boot into Ubuntu, all is lost again, because you need to boot into Ubuntu every time you turn off your PC in order to recover Online status. Each time you get "offline member" the HPA unlocking ocurrs automaticly inside Ubuntu dan...@lizzie:~$ sudo dmraid -ay -vvv -ddd [sudo] password for daniel: WARN: locking /var/lock/dmraid/.lock NOTICE: /dev/sdc: asr discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdc: ddf1 discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdc: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdc: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdc: isw discovering DEBUG: isw metadata found at 150039944192 from probe at 150039944192 NOTICE: /dev/sdc: isw metadata discovered NOTICE: /dev/sdc: jmicron discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdc: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdc: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdc: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdc: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdc: via discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: asr discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: ddf1 discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: isw discovering DEBUG: isw metadata found at 150039944192 from probe at 150039944192 NOTICE: /dev/sdb: isw metadata discovered NOTICE: /dev/sdb: jmicron discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: lsi discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: nvidia discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: pdc discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: sil discovering NOTICE: /dev/sdb: via discovering NOTICE: /dev/sda: asr discovering NOTICE: /dev/sda: ddf1 discovering NOTICE: /dev/sda: hpt37x discovering NOTICE: /dev/sda: hpt45x discovering NOTICE: /dev/sda: isw discovering DEBUG: not isw at 64105741312 DEBUG: isw trying hard coded -2115 offset.

This is the recorded Log of the PC right after Power Up and first boot into Ubuntu. After that, if you DON'T power off the PC, the RAID appears working, but as soon as you power down PC, offline member will appear and can't be fixed.. Is this a way to become the user a slave to Linux ? :) Obviously something is very wrong here, since HPA keeps unlocking without my permission and even with kernel command in place. PD: as soon as I touch Ubuntu, either HPA unlocked or locked, I will get "member offline" each time I turn on the PC.. Any clues? This happens also in Ubuntu Hardy Machine: 12Gb RAM Core i7 X58-ICH10R 2xVelociraptor 150 (RAID0) ** Affects: dmraid (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- After executing DMRAID and turn off PC -> Offline Member on next boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403733 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
