> Why rebuilding /sbin/mdadm & /sbin/mdmon? Both are provided in the standard package. The versions in the old standard package are not able to handle 'BIOS RAID' (aka 'fakeraid') metadata. And therefore booting such volumes relies on the old and crufty dmraid tools. -- You received this bug

Since I've upgraded to 13.10, my raid5 on the intel software raid doesn't mount with the dmraid. I use an older 3.8 kernel I was using on my 13.04. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1241086 Continues to not work for me. But at the initramfs prompt I'm able to manually mount

Re: Brian Candler Thanks for that. Why rebuilding /sbin/mdadm /sbin/mdmon? Both are provided in the standard package. Also I'd expect for you to revert initramfs-tools scripts which generate, filter and replace a different mdadm.conf file into initramfs. -- You received this bug notification

In comment #9, xnox says: (b) grab upstream mdadm.udev rules and drop them into /etc/udev/rules.d/ with same file name as the one in /lib/udev/rules.d/ Taking upstream as git://neil.brown.name/mdadm, it contains two udev rules. Combining them in a way which matches the Ubuntu ones, I get the

Aside: also just tried booting from 13.10beta2 ISO in rescue mode. It is still not using mdadm. It sees /dev/mapper/isw_XX_Volume0 but not /dev/mapper/isw_XX_Volume0p1. As a result it did not offer this as a root filesystem for the rescue shell; and I couldn't see how to rescan

Ah. Forgot to mention more related to this bug. I am using a 990FX chipet and have connected two 3TB drives to the RAID controller. I am using Ubuntu 12.10 and if I now create a RAID on those 3TB drives, it does not matter if it only has a size of 2TB or 1TB, it isn't recognized by dmraid at

But wouldn't that simply only imply that dmraid and mdadm are not supposed to co-exist? I'm a bit puzzled about this change. As far as I understand this, the auto-assemble rules have been removed just to guarantee the function of dmraid - temporarily or not. Automated installation procedure

For new installations, mdadm should be the default. Migration is not necessary, dmraid could be post-installed. As dmraid isn't under development anymore and drive capacities and the kind of platform won't go away, this will sooner rather than later become a widespread critical issue. -- You
