dmraid-4-5 is not built for Saucy

I got an intel software raid, running a raid 5
And updated to saucy.
I think it maybe related.
I can no longer boot with the new kernel 3.11. Only the 3.8 from precise.

When it drops to the initramfs command-line and i issue a dmraid -a y for my raid I get this:

device-mapper: table252:0:raid45:unknown target type
device-mapper: ioctl:error adding target in table
error: device-mapper target type raid45 is not in the kernel

I activated the proposed package source and did the updates, but also doesn't work.

I was checking the patch, In the vanilla kernel 3.11.6 the symbols have changed

 Symbol: MD_RAID456 [=m]
  │ Type : tristate
  │ Prompt: RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 mode
  │ Location:
  │ -> Device Drivers
  │ -> Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) (MD [=y])
  │ -> RAID support (BLK_DEV_MD [=y])
  │ Defined at drivers/md/Kconfig:121
  │ Depends on: MD [=y] && BLK_DEV_MD [=y]
  │ Selects: RAID6_PQ [=m] && ASYNC_MEMCPY [=m] && ASYNC_XOR [=m] && ASYNC_PQ [=m] && ASYNC_RAID6_RECOV[=m] │
 Selected by: DM_RAID [=m] && MD [=y] && BLK_DEV_DM [=y]

and on the mainline 3.12-rc6 there are some modifications to raid5
https://www.kernel.org/diff/diffview.cgi?file=%2Fpub%2Flinux%2Fkernel%2Fv3.x%2Ftesting%2Fpatch-3.12-rc6.xz;z=3624

building a mainline 3.12-rc6 kernel package to see if any of the changes, bring my raid5 back online

I think this is the problem in dmraid/lib/activate/activate.c

static struct type_handler {
 const enum type type;
 int (*f) (struct lib_context * lc, char **table, struct raid_set * rs);
} type_handler[] = {
 { t_undef, dm_undef }, /* Needs to stay here! */
 { t_partition, dm_partition },
 { t_spare, dm_spare },
 { t_linear, dm_linear },
 { t_raid0, dm_raid0 },
 { t_raid1, dm_raid1 },
 { t_raid4, dm_raid45 },
 { t_raid5_ls, dm_raid45 },
 { t_raid5_rs, dm_raid45 },
 { t_raid5_la, dm_raid45 },
 { t_raid5_ra, dm_raid45 },
 /* RAID types below not supported (yet) */
 { t_raid6, dm_unsup },
};

instead of dm_raid45 should be dm_raid456

I'll try and patch it after I finish my current work as a waiter :-P

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-saucy' to 'verification-done-saucy'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

kernel linux-image-3.11.0-13-generic doesn't solve the problem, continue to get the device-mapper: table252:0:raid45:unknown target type

I can confirm that 3.11.0-13-generic fixes the issue and that dmraid once again allows mapping what it calls a raid45.

I'm using an Intel FakeRAID (isw), and since 13.10 dmraid has been claiming that raid45 is not in the kernel. Enabling -proposed and upgrading the kernel fixed the issue; dmraid now allows mapping my RAID both from terminal using "dmraid -ay" and during boot automatically.

Changed the tag to "verification-done-saucy" accordingly.

Could the signed version for UEFI ( linux-signed-image-3.11.0-13-generic ) of the same kernel, not have been updated with the patch in proposed?

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 3.11.0-13.20

Christopher - thanks for the reminder. I'm removing ubuntu/dm-raid4-5 in favor of CONFIG_MD_RAID456 in the mainline 3.13 kernel.
