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?
