please provide your yast and your kernel logs. Created attachment 216194 [details]
Kernel and YaST log of openSUSE 11.0 install system
Please next time remove NEEDINFO status by selecting "This comment/atachment provides ..." checkbox after supplying needed information. Reassigning to maintainer. From the logs I see: - dmraid detects the raid 'isw_ceehdaebbf_Volume1'. - parted cannot read the partition table on it, reports "Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.". fdisk can read the partition table. - later dmraid cannot give further information about the raid but reports 'No RAID sets and with names: "isw_ceehdaebbf_Volume1"'. Matthias, any idea why dmraid what could cause the last issue? Created attachment 219469 [details]
Parted output for running RC1 system
There seems to have been a problem with my partition tables. I used parted to check them on the running 10.3, displayed the same error messages. When parted was called directly with the partition names it reported two different error messages, one saying "partition outside disk" and one saying "overlapping paritions". I then tried RC1, same result. While palying around i lost two Vista partitions. After restoring them with Acronis I tried to setup SuSE again, Beta 2 didn't work, RC1 worked (although same parted version number 1.8.8). I dont know why the problem occurred, all partitions have been created using Norton PartitionMagic 8.0, whos checking functions also didnt report any errors for the parition table. I now have running RC1. Partitioning with YaST works correctly now, partitions are shown correctly and can be accessed correctly. parted also prints the parition table correctly. But when called with the partition names it reports "partition outside disk" for all partitions except the SuSE root parition, which can be accessed (see attachment). Conclusion: parted still seems to have troubles with dmraid partitions. The 3rd problem in comment #4 is related to a bug in dmraid, which I can also reproduce with my ISW test RAID, it probably also affects the DDF1 format. These formats create a RAID set of type GROUP, which is a abstract superset which contains the actual RAID set. When dmraid searches for a wanted RAID set (the one given on the commandline) it first hits the GROUP superset, but as the names does not match dmraid deletes the set. But it seems to delete it recursively, so it also deletes the RAID set it was searching for and cannot find it anymore. I have now a fix for this, which needs to be discussed upstream (https://www.redhat.com/archives/ataraid-list/2008-June/msg00000.html). Despite of this, there should not be any problems when enabling the RAID with dmraid -ay -p *** Bug 406681 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I believe this bug was fixed in dmraid-1.0.0.rc15 which was included in openSUSE 11.1 (11.0 had -rc14). |
