Server: PRIMERGY RX100 S5 Make: Fujitsu Siemens Computers Processor: 1x Xenon Quad Core/ 2xSATAII 500GB / RAID chip Intel ICHR9 /motherboard FSC Will be affecting also PRIMERGY Econel Servers with RAID chip Intel ICHR9
We have configured a RAID 1 array on Intel ICH9R raid. Which in fact uses LSI firmware and appear like LSI Software SATA RAID Bios Version: A.06.05071459R
This is a fakeRAID so dmraid is used to deal with it.
A) Using Fedora 10 Preview the RAID array is not recognized at all. In the anaconda installer just appear 2 separate SATA disks.
B) Using Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 Beta the RAID array is recognized but when booting appears an error message which is actually not affecting the functionality of the OS (The system boots up OK). Not sure of dmraid (RAID) functionality in case of a crash.
Error: <SNIP> Setting hostname localhost.localdomain [OK] /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 350: 1336 Segmentation fault /sbin/dmraid.static -ay -i -p "$dmname" > /dev/null 2>&1 Setting up Logical Volume Management : 2 logical volumes........ </SNIP>
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F10 Preview x86_64 DVD F10 Beta x86_64 DVD F9 Release x86_64 DVD
I thing there is something seriously wrong with dmraid in F10. Anybody out there with similar experience. We have planned to use F10 on our servers if solution would be provided.
I have posted a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471737
