Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image
Overview
========
I have been running Ubuntu Gutsy and recently bought 3 500gb drives (one
PATA, two SATA) and a Silicon Image SATA controller to prepare a
software RAID5 on my system for my server. It is also running Ubuntu
gutsy and I have run into a bit of a knack.
Problem
=======
As you can see in the output from dmesg, the kernel seems to recognize
the partitions on the drives correctly (hdb, sda, sdb; I keep spare
partition to account for variance in space), but a.) there are no
correspond SATA device nodes in /dev for the partitions, b.) there is
information about them /sys either, c.) /dev/hdb and /dev/hdb1 seem to
be mixed up; the former doesn't have volume information, but the latter
does, and d.) my RAID5 does not assemble correctly any more on the
server. Remarkably, the array works just fine on my desktop that I used
to build the array.
I will attach the outputs of lspci -vvv, dmesg, mdadm -E <my_drives>,
and vol_id <my_drives> to assist in debugging this issue.
