Package: partman-dmraid Version: 1 Severity: important On some systems, dmraid -s -c will return "no block devices found" on stdout with an exit code of 0, and not "No RAID disks". This was seen on a system with cciss, so this is likely a condition that is hit before the "No RAID disks" condition (something like "no suitable controller detected"). Result of this issues is that incorrect paths are taken (as if dmraid devices were detected). It would be nice if dmraid would return a non-zero error code in those cases instead having to parse the output of the command... This also affects: - base-installer - hw-detect - partman-base - grub-installer One solution could be to run something like (assuming that no "%" would be used in error messages): dmraid -s -c r,t --sep "%" | grep "%" | cut -d% -f1 Command needs checking! Note that we should also test for the exit code as dmraid _can_ exit non-zero! Example with /sys not mounted (the errors go to stderr!): # dmraid -s ERROR: opening path /sys/block ERROR: failed to discover devices # echo $? 1
