Subject: mdadm not creating symlinks for partitioned arrays
Date: Mon, 30 May 2011 12:23:35 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DE2FFA7.2060605@fastmail.fm> (raw)
Hi mdadm-ers,
I'm pretty sure I have a complete /etc/mdadm.conf and I've regenerated
the initramfs, but the symlinks from /dev/md/array0p1 to /dev/md_123p1
are not being created, neither on boot or with a manual assembly. My
read of the mdadm man page suggests that mdadm should create these
symlinks when the array name ends in a number, the array device is
specified in /dev/md/, and the CREATE auto line exists in
/etc/mdadm.conf. I've got config for other services that specifies these
array partitions as targets and when they are not created, the services
fail to start (naturally :-) I chose these names as they should be
stationary targets, ie persistent names across reboots, whereas the
/dev/md_d127 names seem to be dynamically assigned, based on order of
raid array discovery and position in the mdadm.conf file.
The partitioned arrays are started ok and the partitions detected, I
just can't get mdadm(/udev ??) to create the appropriate symlinks. Does
anyone know how to get these to be created for a partitioned array?
I have:
/dev:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 8128 2011-05-30 11:39 /dev/md_d127
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 8129 2011-05-30 11:39 /dev/md_d127p1
/dev/md:
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2011-05-30 11:39 h001r003 -> ../md_d127
I need:
/dev/md:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2011-05-30 11:39 h001r003p1 -> ../md_d127p1
Thanks kindly,
Josh
