Bug#764798: grub2: Grub rescue shell with RAID 6 mdadm over 8 disks

[Mike B]

Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.02~beta2-11
Severity: critical
File: grub2
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

I initially was running an 8-disk RAID 6 mdadm. Everything worked fine. The system was upgraded to 14 disks RAID 6 online. Eventually the system was rebooted and now grub drops to rescue complaining of invalid UUID.

Upon further inspection, grub is only seeing 8 disks (ls) instead of 14 and cannot assemble the root mdadm device.

I've tested using VMWare and confirmed that 8-disk RAID 6 mdadm arrays work fine with grub for root, but 9 disk and above break the system and drop to rescue shell.

I have a detailed thread with info here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=117483

Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.02~beta2-11
Severity: critical
File: grub2
Justification: breaks the whole system

Do you know if there was a previous version of GRUB 2 where this worked?
For example, how does the version in testing behave? (This is for
practical reasons: if this has just always been broken in GRUB 2, then
it shouldn't block migration of 2.02~beta2 to testing.)

Post by Mike B
I initially was running an 8-disk RAID 6 mdadm. Everything worked
fine. The system was upgraded to 14 disks RAID 6 online. Eventually
the system was rebooted and now grub drops to rescue complaining of
invalid UUID.
Upon further inspection, grub is only seeing 8 disks (ls) instead of
14 and cannot assemble the root mdadm device.

OK, so that implies that this doesn't have much directly to do with RAID
handling: the problem is probably simply that GRUB can't see all 14
disks.

Post by Mike B
I've tested using VMWare and confirmed that 8-disk RAID 6 mdadm arrays
work fine with grub for root, but 9 disk and above break the system
and drop to rescue shell.

A quick test in qemu shows that GRUB can see more than eight disks
there. Could you please share details of your VMware setup so that I
might stand a chance of reproducing this?

Thanks,

Hi Colin,

I sent this yesterday but not sure it was processed:

OK so after spending many more hours, I found that 10 disk RAID 6 members
are bootable (mdadm assembles in grub) while 11 disk and above does not.

This is from very simple VMWare test using the latest Jessie ISO build, and
a clean install. Once you hit 11 members in RAID 6, grub drops to rescue
complaining it can't find the uuid.

This aligns with the 8-disk limit. In RAID 6, you will need 8 usable disks
to assemble a 10-disk member array (two parity). So grub can see only the
first 8 disks, which is enough to get us started.

So I believe there is still an 8-disk limit in grub and this is a bug.

As for the VMWare setup, I created (14) HDD's @ 10GB in size each and
assigned them to an LSI Logic SAS bus controller. Installed Debian,
assigned each 14 disk to RAID, then tried various mdadm configurations
randing from 8 disks to 14 disks to determine that grub is stopping at the 8
disk limit with mdadm. I also tried RAID 0 to make sure it wasn't a RAID 6
issue and had the same result.

I am happy to post my entire VMWare file if you want (~2GB). I'll email you
the link.

Regarding previous versions of grub, I know only that the stable 1.99 has
the same problem because I upgraded to 2.x in an effort to fix it.

Hi Mike,

Post by Mike
Greetings, anything else needed from me?

I don't have VMWare, but tried to reproduce it using KVM (the host
machine is running wheezy). When I configure 10 SATA disks I see all
of them in grub, but when I use VirtIO disks I only see 7 of
them. Turning debugging on and looking further I see that the bios
simply gives an error when trying to access disk 8 and the boot menu
also only shows 7 disks - so in this case the problem is in the bios,
not in grub.

Can you turn on debugging in the grub console using 'set pager=1' and
'set debug=all' and give the output? The debug information from
biosdisk.c is the most interesting. If the problem is that the bios
doesn't support more than 8 disks there is not much we can do except
for documenting it and give a warning for RAID arrays with more than 8
disks.

Kind regards,

Jeroen Dekkers

I'm working on debugging this, and I can reproduce issue with 12 disks
in a RAID6 in qemu/KVM. Adding the suggested debug shows that things
are definitely failing due to BIOS limitations (qemu only shows 4 BIOS
disks), not GRUB limitations. If I change my qemu/KVM config to move
most of the disks to be emulated USB storage (slow!), things work just
fine and the system boots correctly.

Based on that, I'm downgrading this bug to important. I'm afraid that
there's nothing we can do directly to *fix* it ourselves, as it's not
caused by something in GRUB. What would be nice is a warning at
grub-install(?) time if lots of devices are needed for /boot: "your
system may not boot like this".

Mike: I'm afraid the only way you're going to get your system back
properly is to re-arrange your filesystems. Maybe re-shuffle the disks
to get a smaller RAID1 for /boot, or add a USB stick/disk for /boot
only?

Greetings, anything else needed from me?
Thanks.

This is complete guessing, but could the file, util/deviceiter.c, i.e. the
iteration over devices, have something to do with it? In version
grub2-2.02~beta2, there is this block beginning in line 713 (inside of an

Post by Mike
/* ATARAID disks. */
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
[...]
}

Interestingly, there is a similar block starting in line 645

Post by Mike
/* IDE disks. */
for (i = 0; i < 96; i++)
{
[...]
}

which might explain why this problem has not been detected/fixed beforehand.
There weren't probably a lot of users with more than 96 IDE disks 


This can be completely wrong, but if you already have a test setup, you might
get the package ("apt-get build-dep grub2; apt-get source grub2") change the
value, rebuild the package ("fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us" should
work), install (dpkg -i ...) and test it.

Kind regards
