YaST can't find a partition

hansg · February 15, 2022, 3:58am

Some functions of yast such as boot loader configuration don’t work because I get the following dialog:

Probing file system with UUID 01330ce7-d819-40e9-b947-cc8c7a874339 failed
Unexpected situation found in the system.
Click below to see more details (English only).
Continue despite the error?

Then on details I get:

device not found, name:/dev/md126p3

When I choose abort I get:

Error
Internal error. Please report a bug report with logs.
Run save_y2logs to get complete logs.
Caller: /usr/share/YaST2/lib/y2storage/storage_manager.rb:226:in `staging’
Details: Storage::Exception

The above UUID is the correct UUID for /dev/md126p3.

It might be related to this bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1179061
but I don’t know and I can’t figure out how to fix it. yast in Leap 15.3 installer gives the same error so I can’t update the existing installation.

But /dev/md126p3 is also not found. It seems as if the device is not there at all.

Can you check with

ls -l /dev/md*

and

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/

And maybe explain what that disk is (being named md…, it is probably not a straight PCI connected device).

@hansg:

“lsblk --fs” may well also shed some light on what’s going on here.

/dev/md126p3 is currently mounted as /

ls -l /dev/md*:

@hansg:

The UUID “01330ce7-d819-40e9-b947-cc8c7a874339” is a RAID member – ‘/dev/md126p3’ …

Please check if, the RAID is damaged – <https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book-reference/cha-expert-partitioner.html#sec-yast-system-raid-trouble> …
The file ‘/proc/mdstat’ …

Nothing ever reports an error accessing /dev/md126p3 other than yast. I can’t figure out what’s wrong.

dcurtisfra · February 17, 2022, 11:51am

@hansg:

What is or, was, md127?

You may have to invoke “mdam” to remove the inactive “imsm
” entry.

arvidjaar · February 17, 2022, 6:25pm

In this case you should open bug report.

And please avoid colors when posting. I cannot see a single letter behind this yellow.

hansg · February 18, 2022, 7:18am

@dcurtisfra:

I don’t know what md127 is. I figured that imsm contains md127, and md127 contains md126. No?

@arvidjaar:

I just copied and pasted from the terminal where it was color coded. I sometimes forget that some people are still using white backgrounds.

arvidjaar · February 18, 2022, 9:25am

md127 contains metadata for other arrays on these disks. It is not that md127 “contains” md126, rather md127 contains information where md126 is located on disks.
