>Description:
/usr/mdec/installboot cannot install boot loader on RAID 1 devices.
This reports carries a fix for this problem, that should be revied by a maintainer and then
(hopefully) be integrated into the source tree for future releases.
(Patch information see Fix-section of this report)
>How-To-Repeat:
not relevant
>Fix:
The folling lines are the output of "diff -c" that may be applied with patch to the file
"/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/installboot/installboot.c".
This Patch will enable installboot to install the boot loader on RAID1 devices.
It assumes that the boot partitions start at the beginning of the RAID device. This ist
the same assumtion as in the bootloader itself. (see /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/lib/biosdisk.c)
Remark: By the way, the comment in biosdisk.c for RF_PROTECTED_SECTORS is wrong. This definition
comes from raidframevar.h not from rf_optnames.h - and this headerfile should be used instead
of an explicit #define.
What does this patch do:
1. check the boot device for RAID by trying to get the RAID-information.
If this fails, act as normal.
2. it gets the component label from the first device in the RAID and checs for RAID type 1
3. if that succeds it loops though all of the raid componentens
- converts block device name into raw device name and opens it
- gets partition offset of the partition
- corrects the fraglist with the offset for that component
- writes bootloader to partition
- resets fraglist to the state before adding the offset
It prints a WARNING and ignores RAID-components that are not "optimal". So it will only work
correctly, if all components are up and running. It is possible to repeat the installation of
the boot loader as often as required. It is nessesary to repeat the installation after
component replacement.
At the moment, this patch ignores any spare disks. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge of the
exact semantics and behavior of the raidframe driver can add support for spare disks.
If anything fails, it will abort.
This patch has not been tested against all possible way of installing the boot loader!
The -b option may case problems, but I don't know how to use it on "normal" disks ...
"-f" should not be relevant, because there should always be a disklabel on the raid device.
