Title:
mdadm fails to assemble RAID5 from 4 LUKS devices on boot
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
My setup is the following: 4 LUKS encrypted drives with mdadm RAID5 on top.
The reason I encrypted first and then added them into the array was based on
performance: 4 threads doing encryption/decryption instead of just 1. The max
speed of this array vs Raid5 first, encrypt later is 169 MB/s vs 90 MB/s. This
setup used to work perfectly in 9.10, but stopped working in 12.04. mdadm
always thinks the array is degraded with two disks (usually random) marked as
spares. The array is perfectly healthy if I assemble it after the booting
process is finished
Yes, I ran this after mdadm.conf update:
sudo mdadm --udev-rules
sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.2.0-32-generic
cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
# mdadm.conf
#
# Please refer to mdadm.conf(5) for information about this file.
#
# by default (built-in), scan all partitions (/proc/partitions) and all
# containers for MD superblocks. alternatively, specify devices to scan, using
# wildcards if desired.
