[Bug 531240] Re: breaking raid: root raid_member opened as luks

[Scott James Remnant]

My understanding of this problem:

blkid currently, deliberately, returns only the first detected RAID or
LUKS container for a filesystem - with the checking order being raid
first.

This means if a partition has both a RAID and LUKS signature, it will
always be returned as RAID.

You request that we invert this, so that a partition that has both a
RAID and LUKS signature is now returned as LUKS.

My concern here is that in the case where we added LUKS to that break-
out rule, we were only changing a "no answer" result to one with a
probably valid (or at least not dangerously invalid) answer.

The change you're asking for is *changing* an existing answer.

Why is it impossible that there are systems out there whose RAID devices
have left-over LUKS metadata on them?
