[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1938462] [NEW] If a computer is booted with a USB drive installed, ZFS will fail to find any pools

2021-07-29 Thread David Lee
Public bug reported:

I accidentally booted a computer with a USB drive inserted. After the
system booted, I was unable to log in to my desktop environment. I
dropped to terminal and found that the zfs volume did not mount and I
was dropped into the root directory. zpool status returns that no volume
was defined which was worrying. Upon unplugging the USB drive and
rebooting, the zfs volume returned and I could log in as usual.

lsblk is as follows on a normal boot:
NAMEMAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
...
sda   8:00 111.8G  0 disk
├─sda18:1032G  0 part [SWAP]

zpool status is as follows on a normal boot:
  pool: zpool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested

 NAMESTATE READ WRITE CKSUM

 sdc ONLINE   0 0 0
 sdd ONLINE   0 0 0
 cache
   sda2  ONLINE   0 0 0

errors: No known data errors

I suspected what happened was that the USB drive somehow took a device
node formerly assigned to one of the zfs disks and that threw the zfs
loader off. Detaching the drive caused the device node to become
reassigned to the zfs disks and thus the system was able to boot as
normal.

Can a fix be devised for this? Is it possible for ZFS to do some extra
work like assigning a UUID to it's volumes during creation, then during
remounting, instead of just using the stored device nodes, probe each
drive attached for matching UUIDs and remounting the volume based on the
UUIDs?

  I understand that a fix for this has been rolled out to Hirsuite (0029
  -Update-for-set_fs-removal-in-Linux-5.10.patch). Can this fix please
  be backported to Focal? Since it fixes the problem for people needing
  to run LTS and use the HWE-Edge kernel for any given reason.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1683105] [NEW] Installation of DMRaid should automatically add necessary modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

2017-04-15 Thread David Lee
Public bug reported:

This is related to bug 1313169, I have had a sudden bout of clarity on
the cause of the issue.

I propose this modification to the dmraid installation script as it is a
small but necessary enhancement.

When dmraid is installed, it adds all the necessary hooks to initramfs-
tools. However, it has one oversight, that the required raid modules are
not added to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. Without these modules, dmraid
will inevitably fail to initialize the array when started since the
kernel would not be able to find the required modules in the image.

I propose that when dmraid is installed, during installation the script
would check to see if the following items are already in /etc/initramfs-
tools/modules, and append the required modules into the bottom of the
file if it's not, and then rebuild the initramfs, update grub and if
necessary reinstall grub. On uninstall of package, I propose that we
should just warn the user but leave the lines in just in case they're
using something else that also needs the modules.

The following modules should be appended to the /etc/inmitramfs-
tools/modules file:

raid0
dm_raid
raid1
raid10
raid456
async_raid6_recov
async_memcpy
async_pq
async_tx
raid6_pq
async_xor
xor
libcrc32c

  small but necessary enhancement.
  
  When dmraid is installed, it adds all the necessary hooks to initramfs-
  tools. However, it has one oversight, that the required raid modules are
  not added to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. Without these modules, dmraid
  will inevitably fail to initialize the array when started since the
  kernel would not be able to find the required modules in the image.
  
  I propose that when dmraid is installed, during installation the script
  would check to see if the following items are already in /etc/initramfs-
  tools/modules, and append the required modules into the bottom of the
  file if it's not, and then rebuild the initramfs, update grub and if
  necessary reinstall grub. On uninstall of package, I propose that we
  should just warn the user but leave the lines in just in case they're
  using something else that also needs the modules.
  
  The following modules should be appended to the /etc/inmitramfs-
  tools/modules file:
  
  raid0
  dm_raid
  raid1
  raid10
  raid456
  async_raid6_recov
  async_memcpy
  async_pq
  async_tx
  raid6_pq
  async_xor
  xor

Title:
  Ubuntu Trusty Tahr cannot boot on RAID5 array

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Raid array is three identical Western Digital Green series 500GB hard
  drives on an NVIDIA controller set to RAID5 for a total of 1TiB
  (931.52GB) storage.

  Installation was done using the Ubuntu LiveCD.

  Partitions on the filesystem was created beforehand using gparted. The
  partition table is set up to be GPT with a 8MB bios_grub partition, a
  256MB fat32 EFIBoot partition (not used for this setup, board does not
  support EFI and is expected to boot from the bios_grub legacy
  partition), a 4GB swap, 80GB root partition, and the rest for /home.
  Then  the installer is invoked and the partitions are set up. GRUB is
  told to install to the root of the RAID array in /dev/mapper . The
  installation went flawlessly.

  Upon reboot, GRUB loads as expected, and loads the kernel and initrd
  as expected. However, the kernel gives up on waiting for the root
  partition and drops to initramfs busybox. "dmesg|grep device" shows
  the following errors:

  device-mapper: table: 252:0: raid: unknown target type
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

  Trying to invoke dmraid -a y results in the following error:
  ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid" is not in the kernel
  RAID set "nvidia_babddecf" was not activated.

  nvidia_babddecf is the assigned volume name by the controller.

I ran the command as requested, and got nothing

There appears to be another kernel update today. However that update did
not help with the issue.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1514203] [NEW] mkfs.btrfs and fsck.btrfs gets installed into the wrong directory

2015-11-08 Thread David Lee
Public bug reported:

Watching the Ubuntu console while installing, I noticed that mkinitramfs
keeps complaining that it could not find fsck.btrfs. I looked into it
and noticed that both mkfs.btrfs and fsck.btrfs are being installed into
/bin instead of /sbin proper. A quick workaround is to copy the files
from /bin to /sbin, but this is a major issue as if the user boots from
a btrfs root filesystem and the root filesystem gets corrupted, then the
user will not be able to fsck the filesystem when dumped at the initrd.

** Affects: btrfs-tools (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided
 Status: New

** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => btrfs-tools (Ubuntu)

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1313169] Re: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr cannot boot on RAID5 array

2014-07-12 Thread David Lee
Hi,

As I've already made the permanent changes by hand to my Ubuntu
installation, I am unable to check if the subsequent kernel versions
have this issue fixed without performing a clean reinstall, which I am
unwilling to do at the moment. Please confirm with the respective teams
to ensure that the fix is in place. Thanks.

Title:
  Ubuntu Trusty Tahr cannot boot on RAID5 array

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Raid array is three identical Western Digital Green series 500GB hard
  drives on an NVIDIA controller set to RAID5 for a total of 1TiB
  (931.52GB) storage.

  Installation was done using the Ubuntu LiveCD.

  Partitions on the filesystem was created beforehand using gparted. The
  partition table is set up to be GPT with a 8MB bios_grub partition, a
  256MB fat32 EFIBoot partition (not used for this setup, board does not
  support EFI and is expected to boot from the bios_grub legacy
  partition), a 4GB swap, 80GB root partition, and the rest for /home.
  Then  the installer is invoked and the partitions are set up. GRUB is
  told to install to the root of the RAID array in /dev/mapper . The
  installation went flawlessly.

  Upon reboot, GRUB loads as expected, and loads the kernel and initrd
  as expected. However, the kernel gives up on waiting for the root
  partition and drops to initramfs busybox. dmesg|grep device shows
  the following errors:

  device-mapper: table: 252:0: raid: unknown target type
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

  Trying to invoke dmraid -a y results in the following error:
  ERROR: device-mapper target type raid is not in the kernel
  RAID set nvidia_babddecf was not activated.

  nvidia_babddecf is the assigned volume name by the controller.
