Well, the issue is that creating an array differs from machine to machine, from controller card to controller card. steps to reproduce: 1. install 3 or more identical drives into the machine 2. Go into controller setup menu. This usually involves pressing a key combination when prompted by the

The way you could be more verbose is by detailing more precise steps on how to reproduce it. I, for example, don't know how to configure hardware fakeraid with RAID 5. Steps on doing that, with an expected result, should be in the bug report. Thanks. ** Description changed: [Impact] - Users

Well, tbh, I am having similar issues on another machine running RAID-0 (striped), so I do think that dm-raid is required on that too. Maybe it's RAID-1 (mirror) that doesn't need it but instead needs the dm- mirror module? In any case, I understand the risks. I'm trying this out as research

Yes, for raid5 you need the dm-raid module, but iirc, not for a raid0. FYI, unless you are dual booting with Windows you should use conventional linux md raid rather than fake/dmraid, as md is far better supported and properly handles failures and reshapes, which fakeraid does not. -- You

Well, I'm running RAID5 on my media storage build and RAID0 on my gaming build. Noted however. But we have already observed that the behavior is caused by the dm-raid module not getting added to the init ramdisk. Either way it can be solved by adding the module to the hooks of either dmsetup or

Hrm... actually dm-mod is the core device mapper support itself and is still needed. You just don't see the module anymore because Ubuntu started building it into the kernel instead of as a module, but if you are running a kernel where it is built as a module, it still needs loaded. Are you

Well, if that's the case, then I propose patching both. After all, dm- mod.ko has been renamed to dm-raid.ko and dmsetup's hook is improper for calling it. I'm attaching the patch for dmraid as well. ** Patch added: "Makes dmraid's hook load dm-raid.ko instead of nonexistent module dm-mod.ko"

The modules file is for the user to manually add modules. Packages add them via their hook script. The dmraid hook script currently adds dm- mod and dm-mirror, but I believe the kernel has changed and now the correct modules are dm-raid and dm-mirror. Can you try editing your dmraid hook script
