Package: mdadm
Version: 3.3.2-5+deb8u2
Severity: critical
Dear maintainers,
I created a virtual drive in the the RAID-Setup of a computer with LSI
Megaraid software raid support. Then I booted from my self-created
installation DVD (that has mdadm installed), let it partition the
virtual drive and installed a basic system on the drive. But at the next
boot, when I wanted to start from the basic system on the drive, that
was not possible because the virtual raid drive had disappeared, that
means the drive was neither shown in the boot order list, nor in the
RAID setup routine of the computer.
My temporary solution was to switch back to dmraid, which handled my
RAID setup without destroying it.
Regards
Christoph
