[Bug 941874] Re: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot
I've just installed a HP Microserver (N40L) with the latest installer from precise-updates/main/installer-amd64/20101020ubuntu136.9/images /quantal-netboot. The installer fails to activate the raid, so I had to drop into a shell, write dmraid -ay, to continue the installation. After the install, I have the exact same problem, I'm always dropped into the busybox initramfs shell, write dmraid -ay to activate the raid, and exit, and boot continues as normal. I've solved my problem by adding the line [ -x /sbin/dmraid ] /sbin/dmraid -ay to the end of the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts /local-top/dmraid as suggested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/247027/comments/21 But I'm guessing there's a more sophisticated procedure that's not kicking in on my system. What information can I start providing to help get this fixed?

[Bug 941874] Re: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot
@Path Off topic for a bug report but I will set you straight on a few things. Dmraid support is good but for later hardware is crappy at best but don't blame the Ubuntu devs. The original developer (a red hat guy) stopped developing the project a while ago and we have been trying to get him to merge fixes for years. There is a far better implementation for software raid which is mdadm, but this is not compatible with windows dual boot. Do you rant on Microsofts bug reports that they don't support 100% of features of mdadm? (they actual support no features of mdadm and dont have public bug reports) This bug has been fixed by Phillip Susi who is a dedicated maintainer and usually fixes bugs very quickly. The only issues are when bugs pop up after the development cycle which makes it harder to get them merged due to the merging requirements after release. Final thoughts. Ubuntu is an 'Unstable' operating system (built from debian unstable) and it uses the latest software packages that can be unstable but usually in this LTS until the 12.04.1 release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/941874 Title: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/941874/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 941874] Re: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot
Just worked around the same problem that Adi Piracalabu described. Installed Ubuntu 12.04 release Amd64 image on fakeraid raid5. With my boot loader, root directory and swap all on a separate disc. Then my home directory on my raid 5. Installation completed successfully. Rebooting fails to mount my raid5 drive, I skip mounting the home directory and I can't access my main account that has the home directory on those discs. Logging in with a guest account and creating a separate admin account with my main accounts passwords, permitted me to install dmraid. With a reboot from that software state. The home directory on the raid5 is mounted and my account that has the home directory in the raid5 is accessible. That's where it works for me right now. With some analysis, after a few re installations. I noticed that the installation of 12.04 does not install dmraid at all? Basically if I performed the installation and continued to try ubuntu before restarting into it. Then mounted the disk I installed to. Dmraid does not appear to be installed in the libs, binaries, initramfs... While trying ubuntu 12.04 the raids are accessible, but when you install 12.04, it skips or fails the dmraid package and the rest of those dependencies. If this could be fixed; if the installer can successfully place the dmraid package, if it installs on a system that has fakeraids; then I think I'll finally be able to boot off of a fakeraid without a workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/941874 Title: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/941874/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 941874] Re: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot
Apparently I have a related problem after an upgrade from 11.10 done using do-release-upgrade. The troubled server has all the partitions on a software RAID 1. With the new kernel (3.2.0-24.37) it failed to mount the root partition, dropping to a busybox shell. After booting the ol kernel I found there's no dmraid package installed on the server. Installing it also pulled kpartx-boot as dependency and now I have /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kpartx in place. update-initramfs appears to have generated a bootable initrd this time, but I haven't had the chance to test it yet. Also, looking at the initrd images for 3.0.0-16-server and 3.2.0-24-generic I found there are no dmraid kpartx related entries in 3.0.0.16 image. Is it perhaps worth to have dmraid kpartx-boot as dependencies for a basic installation? For some reason they were not installed previously. Should I file a new bug for this? I haven't found anything similar yet.

Ok, kpartx has a hook rule that is supposed to do that already, but for some reason, it is not being installed.

[Bug 941874] Re: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot
Can you try updating your initramfs and see if that helps? sudo update-initramfs -u I did this and I still get dropped to the busybox, just after begin running scripts/local-top...done shows during boot. From busybox, ls /dev shows these (disk but not the partitions): /dev/dm-0 /dev/isw_dgjgchief_Volume0 cat /proc/kmsg shows at the end: device-mapper:dm-raid45:initialized v0.2594b Also please make sure you are running the -ubuntu7 version of dmraid. I'm not sure how to check this. As for the dmraid command, from busybox: dmraid -V shows: dmraid version: 1.0.0.rc16 (2009.09.16) shared dmraid library version: 1.0.0.rc16 (2009.09.16) shared device-mapper version: 4.22.0 (or perhaps 4.2.2.0) Let me know if you need anything else.

[Bug 941874] Re: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot
OK, no idea if this will help, but when I get thrown into initramfs, when running 'dmraid -ay', it says the raid volume is already activated, but in /dev I only have the raided drive (dm-0) and not any of the partitions (dm-1 and dm-2). Booting from a rescue disk, I have the same problem and after running kpartx (iirc, kpartx -a /dev/dm-0, I'm not in front of my pc), the devices appear and can be mounted. So, if the dmraid udev tool is supposed to take care of running kpartx... it's not working. btw, drives are running under isw : Intel Software RAID (4x120gb agility 3s, sda-sdd), so I'm not sure if I'm affected by the lack of awk and sed hooks as martin pointed out earlier...

[Bug 941874] Re: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot
Here's what fixed it for me: change the following line in sbin/dmraid-activate back to the same as it was in initrd.img.3.0.0.12-generic from Oneric: Change (around line 75): # array brought up in degraded mode, except in the case of striped arrays. dmraid -p -i -ay -Z $1 To: # array brought up in degraded mode, except in the case of striped arrays. dmraid -i -ay -Z $1 I'm curious to know the reason they decided to add the -p in this version. Does anyone know? Let me know if you need me to post the step-by-step fix.. most people probably have no idea about how to pkg/re-pkg the initrd file. Cheers!

Re: [Bug 941874] Re: (fakeraid) root device not activated during boot
Ken, for me, everything was in /dev/mapper and before running dmraid -ay ls /dev/mapper/ only had the device, not the partitions: isw_dgjgchief_Volume0 Then after dmraid -ay, ls /dev/mapper shows (p1,p2,p3 being my /, home, swap partitions): isw_dgjgchief_Volume0p1 isw_dgjgchief_Volume0p3 isw_dgjgchief_Volume0 isw_dgjgchief_Volume0p2 I think my machine is running with the sd drives setup as striped. Never the less, the fix in my previous comment works for my situation.

When choosing recovery option, the boot process times out waiting for root device and drops to busybox shell. Running dmraid -ay and exiting busybox resumes boot and it continues normally. --- The problems are: * There are no initramfs hooks for kpartx, so kpartx is not available during boot. the following files are needed: /sbin/kpartx /lib/udev/kpartx_id /lib/udev/dmsetup_env /lib/udev/rules.d/95-kpartx.rules * The hook for dmraid udev rules is wrong: The script /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/dmraid tries to add: /lib/udev/rules.d/85-dmraid.rules but the existing file is called: /lib/udev/rules.d/97-dmraid.rules After fixing the above two issues, system boots normally. * dmraid-activate is sometimes called with full device name dmraid-activate expecte device name withouth /dev/, e.g. sda not /dev/sda. However the script /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/dmraid calls dmraid-activate using the full device name and path. * There might also be antoher bug on line 100 in dmraid-activate (in the awk script): # Heximal to decimal conversion array for (i = 0; i = 9; i++) hex2dec[i] = i hex2dec[a] = 10; hex2dec[b] = 11; hex2dec[c] = 12 hex2dec[e] = 13; hex2dec[d] = 14; hex2dec[f] = 15; Element e and d appears to have been switched.
