From a91be4ee51527f2ed975a36d433101ec720437a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Gilligan Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:16:22 -0800 Subject: Bugfix 3738: Improve safety in installing onto RAID sets. Issue a warning if installing onto a RAID set that is degraded, but not in active rebuild. Don't let the user install onto a RAID set that is in the process of rebuild because it is unsafe. --- scripts/install-system | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+) (limited to 'scripts/install-system') diff --git a/scripts/install-system b/scripts/install-system index b941d9b6..f2ee5b09 100755 --- a/scripts/install-system +++ b/scripts/install-system @@ -288,6 +288,33 @@ check_for_old_raid () { echo "Using RAID partition $INSTALL_DRIVE" + raid_degraded=`cat /sys/block/$INSTALL_DRIVE/md/degraded` + raid_sync_action=`cat /sys/block/$INSTALL_DRIVE/md/sync_action` + + if [ "$raid_degraded" = "1" ]; then + echo + if [ "$raid_sync_action" = "recover" ]; then + echo "Error: This RAID set is degraded and is in the process of" + echo "rebuilding.
