** Description changed: + [Impact] + This is an SRU regression confined to precise-proposed. Reverting part of the upstream changes is sufficient to resolve this for precise. The issue remains unfixed in quantal; this is not a blocker for the SRU. + + [Test case] + Verify that the submitter's machine boots successfully with the latest mdadm installed. + + [Regression potential] + Since the existing mdadm in precise does not do auto-assembly of imsm or ddf arrays using udev rules, the risk of regression by continuing to not assemble them is minimal. Only risk of regression is a mis-edit causing some other array, previously handled correctly in precise, to no longer be assembled; the risk of this is very small. + After upgrading to the mdadm in precise-proposed, all newly created initrds do not boot. I'm using a pseudo raid with to harddisks on a Sony Vaio Z. Raid level is 0. I have one unencrypted boot partition and an encrypted root. During startup the system asks for the password to decrypt the root partition as usual but fails to mount the partition afterwards. I always get the message that there are one or more degraded partitions. However, with an older version of mdadm everything works perfectly. My current solution: Downgrade to latest stable mdadm (precise). Please let me know what additional information is required. I can also perform some tests as long as my (prodcutive) system is not in danger. - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu12 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111011) MDadmExamine.dev.sda: Error: command ['/sbin/mdadm', '-E', '/dev/sda'] failed with exit code 1: mdadm: cannot open /dev/sda: Permission denied MDadmExamine.dev.sdb: Error: command ['/sbin/mdadm', '-E', '/dev/sdb'] failed with exit code 1: mdadm: cannot open /dev/sdb: Permission denied MDadmExamine.dev.sdc: Error: command ['/sbin/mdadm', '-E', '/dev/sdc'] failed with exit code 1: mdadm: cannot open /dev/sdc: Permission denied MachineType: Sony Corporation VPCZ21C5E Package: mdadm 3.2.3-2ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_US:en - TERM=xterm - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANGUAGE=en_US:en + TERM=xterm + PATH=(custom, user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.5.0-6-generic root=/dev/mapper/volumegrp01-root ro ^ kopt=root=/dev/mapper/volumegrp01-root quiet splash video=intelfb pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 vt.handoff=7 ProcMDstat: - Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] - unused devices: <none> + Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] + unused devices: <none> ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-6.6~precise1-generic 3.5.0 Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.5.0-6-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm admin audio cdrom debian-tor dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare dmi.bios.date: 02/09/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: INSYDE dmi.bios.version: R0172H5 dmi.board.asset.tag: N/A dmi.board.name: VAIO dmi.board.vendor: Sony Corporation dmi.board.version: N/A dmi.chassis.asset.tag: N/A dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Sony Corporation dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnINSYDE:bvrR0172H5:bd02/09/2012:svnSonyCorporation:pnVPCZ21C5E:pvrJ004PS0X:rvnSonyCorporation:rnVAIO:rvrN/A:cvnSonyCorporation:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: VPCZ21C5E dmi.product.version: J004PS0X dmi.sys.vendor: Sony Corporation etc.blkid.tab: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/blkid.tab'
