Subject: How does linux hide underlying disks partitions?
Date: Fri, 29 May 2015 22:07:14 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1432926434.4733.1.camel@gmail.com> (raw)

I'm trying to evaluate a complex mdadm-lvm-udev-anaconda issue
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1226305 and to undestand
how mdadm works.

I have an intel imsm raid-1 volume /dev/md126 assembled with two
disks /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.
This volume has two partitions /dev/md126p1 and /dev/md126p2.

Because it a simple mirror, both disks have te same information.

When the normal system boots up, I can see with journalctl that

1. at first /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2 appear
2. then mdadm assembles /dev/md126 from /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
3. /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2 disappear
4. /dev/md126p1 and /dev/md126p2 coming instead

Which program component is responsible for
disappearing /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2?

Why can they be left after starting anaconda installer?
