Problem with md autodetect on Alpha platform?
Hi,
I guess this may be Alpha-specific pain...
I have a problem autodetecting raid arrays on Debian Alpha.
1. I can start raid by using raidtools and /etc/raidtab
2. I see superblocks are in place (by mdadm -E)
3. Kernel (2.4.26) is compiled with the following parameters
CONFIG_MD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y
CONFIG_MD_RAID0=y
CONFIG_MD_RAID1=y
4. Partitions have fd flag
----------
5 partitions:
# start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 1* 9* 8* ext2
b: 10 75 66 fd
c: 76 337 262 fd
d: 338 403 66 fd
e: 339 1106 768 fd
------------
5. md driver starts but does not find any partitions
----------------------
md: raid0 personality registered as nr 2
md: raid1 personality registered as nr 3
md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27
md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: autorun ...
md: ... autorun DONE.
-----------------------
I need to configure autodection to mirror root partition. I moved aboot.conf
in ext2 boot partition so it's not a problem for aboot to start kernel.
Could it be a problem with type fd in BSD partitioning table?
Many thanks in advance for any help!
BR,
Dub
