Title:
mdraid not assembled correctly when booting from kernel newer than
2.6.32-33
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I operate a raid server consisting of two hardware RAID6 arrays (11 2 TB disks each), which are combined in a MD-raid (Raid0).
When booting Kernel 2.6.32-33, the Raid is assembled correctly:
cat /proc/mdstat:
--------------------
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md0 : active raid0 sdb1[0] sdc1[1]
35156244352 blocks 64k chunks
unused devices: <none>
cat /proc/partitions:
------------------------
major minor #blocks name
8 0 244140288 sda
8 1 248832 sda1
8 2 1952768 sda2
8 3 241937408 sda3
8 16 17578123776 sdb
8 17 17578122240 sdb1
8 32 17578123776 sdc
8 33 17578122240 sdc1
9 0 35156244352 md0
When booting any newer kernel (eg. 2.6.32-38 or 2.6.32-52), the RAID is assembled incorrectly, its size being far too low (8.5 TB instead of 35 TB). In the following, the raid array is not usable.
cat /proc/mdstat:
---------------------
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0]
md0 : active raid0 sdb1[0] sdc1[1]
8589934464 blocks 64k chunks
unused devices: <none>
cat /proc/partitions:
------------------------
major minor #blocks name
8 0 244140288 sda
8 1 248832 sda1
8 2 1952768 sda2
8 3 241937408 sda3
8 16 17578123776 sdb
8 17 17578122240 sdb1
8 32 17578123776 sdc
8 33 17578122240 sdc1
The two RAID6-hardware RAID arrays are recognized correctly by the system, further the Areca controllers are also working correctly.
I suspect there is a kernel bug, preventing mdadm to get the correct
device sizes for large size raid arrays.
