Description Charles Wight 2010-07-04 18:16:45 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100611 SUSE/3.6.4-3.2 Firefox/3.6.4

I have an ntfs and an ext4 partion on a raid1 device configured for dmraid.  The device /dev/mapper/ddf1_AR01 exists, but the devices for the partitions are NOT created. [Hardware is an Adaptec branded "Silicon Image RAID bus controller" using the driver "sata_sil24"

Yast partitioner shows /dev/mapper/ddf1_AR01_part1 and /dev/mapper/ddf1_AR01_part2.  If I try to set the mount points in the yast partition tool, I receive an error, "It is not allowed to assign a mount point to a device with nonexistent or unknown file system.

If I start dmraid manually:

[root@dolphin]# dmraid -a y ddf1_AR01
RAID set "ddf1_AR01" already active
RAID set "ddf1_AR01" was not activated
RAID set "ddf1_AR01p1" was activated
RAID set "ddf1_AR01p1" was not activated
RAID set "ddf1_AR01p2" was activated
RAID set "ddf1_AR01p2" was not activated

At this point, ddf1_AR01p1 and ddf1_AR01p2 exist in /dev/mapper and the file systems can be mounted via the mount command, e.g.:

[root@dolphin]# mount /xp/cheetah
[root@dolphin]# echo $?
0
[root@dolphin]# df /xp/cheetah/
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/ddf1_AR01p1
                     125837112  90775420  35061692  73% /xp/cheetah
[root@dolphin]# 


Yast still shows incorrect device mapper names


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create partions on dmraid device
2. Add to /etc/fstab
3. reboot
