/dev/sd[cdefgh] are in a 'ddf1' group. I do not know whether this is by design or by error, but dmraid-activate is incapable of activating the mdadm RAID6 array, that's for sure. patching /lib/udev/rules.d/85-dmraid.rules like so: orig: SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_TYPE}=="disk", ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="raid", KERNEL=="hd[a-z]|sd[a-z]", \ RUN+="/sbin/dmraid-activate %k" patch: SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_TYPE}=="disk", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}!="linux_raid*", ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="raid", KERNEL=="hd[a-z]|sd[a-z]", \ RUN+="/sbin/dmraid-activate %k" Resolves the problem, but dmraid -r still lists the group. Therefore I consider this a workaround for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742145 Title: dmraid interferes with mdadm -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
