Dmraid error on initramfs: no block devices found

After updating a system running dmraid mkinitcpio fails to create an image with the following:
==> ERROR: binary dependency `libudev.so.1' not found for `dmraid'
[2012-08-30 14:07] ==> ERROR: binary dependency `libudev.so.1' not found for `dmsetup'
[2012-08-30 14:07] ==> ERROR: binary dependency `libudev.so.1' not found for `dmsetup'
I foolishly rebooted without checking pacman.log, so I am unable to boot because my root partition is on the fakeraid. I get an error like:
dmraid: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
unable to find root device '/dev/mapper/sil_bgbgdjaddicbp1'
I've created a liveusb with the latest media and mounted my dmraid partitions, so I need to resolve this dependency and rebuild the image. I checked and libudev.so.1 is present in my dmraid root partition's filesystem, so any ideas why it's failing? I know udev and systemd merged, so that probably has something to do with it.
Also my HOOKS array in mkinitcpio.conf is:
HOOKS="base autodetect pata scsi sata dmraid filesystems"
and MODULES is
MODULES="dm_mod"

Yes, my setup was:
boot ext2 /dev/sdd1
root ext4 dm-0
home ext4 dm-1
var reiserfs /dev/sdd4
Now I just reinstalled, setup two mdadm RAID0 arrays, created a logical volume group with LVM, paritioned root and home on these arrays, then kept the rest the same as my previous config. I really didn't feel like figuring out the problem (if it even could have been fixed). Also dmraid is apparently not being developed anymore. I was also on GRUB legacy still, which needed to go. Lastly systemd isn't going to play nicely (or at all) with dmraid.
My advice would be to migrate your existing setup to the newer, better supported packages. It's actually a much more elegant solution for software RAID. A good guide to do this is:

Error message in Audition 2.0 when trying to burn a CD: no devices found

I am using Windows 7 and Adobe Audition 2.0. on a new laptop (Asus). When i try to burn a CD from the 'CD' workspace I get the error message 'no devices found'. I have burned other CDs on this machine separately from Audition so i know the Matsushita CD/DVD burner works. How do I get Audition to recognize the burner device? Thanks, Spintal

The one time this happened to me, it turned out it was the fault of a Windows update and doing a system restore back to the first state prior to that update fixed it.
From the number of times this crops up I suspect there are some other causes too--another thing I'd try is updated the drivers for the CD drive.

I can't get dvds to play "There was an initialization error. A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017] Anybody know how to resolve this?

I can't get dvds to play and, instead, get "There was an initialization error. A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]" I went in for a Genius appt Friday and it played for the tech...but now I'm back home (one and a half hours from the store) and I'm getting the error message again when I try to load a dvd. Any recommendations?

Hello, try this...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Reboot... any change?

OBIEE 10g iBots SA System error : No Devices found for User ###

Hi All,
I have implemented SA System in my RPD as I wanted to send emails to obi/non-obi users.
But its giving error - No Devices found for User ....
I found this error in S_NQ_ERR_MSG table.
I have an entry in SA_User table, and when I login to OBI using same user, I can see my delivery profile automatically set as expected because of SA System Implementation.
But its not working when I want to send mail to same user using iBots conditional request.
Please advise what I am doing wrong here??
Thanks in Advance !!..
Well .. now the No devices issue is resolved if i select the checkbox for Interactive Dashboard and Active Delivery Profile in the Destination tab of iBot.
But still No mail received :(
Getting below data from S_NQ_ERR_MSG table.

Solved !!! :)
Its was a small mistake..
The SA System columns in Presentation and logical area should be exactly as expected.
In my case, the correct column should be 'Time Zone' but I had it as 'Timezone'. :)
Small mistakes are hard to find... neways.. hope this will help some another soul ;)
Cheersss !!!

Anyone know why I got this Terminal Error? [ERROR] CPPathUtils.c:526 The device-file for this operating system, 'osx-12.1.0.xml', was not found.

Here is the full text:
[ERROR] <CPPathUtils.c:526> The device-file for this operating system, 'osx-12.1.0.xml', was not found. An attempt to revert to a previous revision of the OS device-file: 'osx-12.0.0.xml' has been made. Please file a Radar report with Apple, on the 'CoreProfile' component, version 'X'.
Appeared after 10.8.1 Friday update while troubleshooting USB/FW issues w/ Mountain Lion.

OK. To recap:
1. Open Terminal.app
2. Type at cursor:
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreProfile.framework/Versions/A/Resources/De vices/
3. Press Return
4. Type at cursor:
ls
5. Press Return
6. Type at cursor:
sudo ln -s osx-12.0.0.xml osx-12.1.0.xml
7. Press Return
8. Enter password if asked
9. Done.
Can I then type ls again to verify the change?

[SOLVED] /dev/root is not a valid block device

After trying to boot my system after a few days of it remaining off, it fails to boot with:
Booting the kernel.

You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.

After uprading to iOS 5.1 I can no longer play videos in my camera roll. I just get the following error "The requested URL was not found on this server"

After uprading to iOS 5.1 I can no longer play videos in my camera roll. I just get the following error "The requested URL was not found on this server".
Anyone have any ideas?

You have two choices to try & fix this: 1. Backup your phone, then restore as a new device, then restore from the backup you first created, or 2. Follow the advise from this poster:
I had the same problem with the black blocks after upgrading to iOS4 on my iPhone. The reason for the black blocks is that the thumbnail images for those particular images have not been created when the Photo Library has been updated to iOS4. I followed the advice on a couple of blogs and fixed the problem.
1. I downloaded iPhone Explorer free software (http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/) so I could view the photo data folders on my phone. I could see that the thumbnail images were missing.
2. I followed a slight variation on the instructions on this blog. (http://blog.mbentley.net/2010/06/iphone-ios-4-upgrade-restore-lost-pictures-in-c amera-roll/)
3. First I copied the Photo Data folder by dragging it from the iPhone Explorer window to my Mac desktop.
4. Through iPhone Explorer I deleted the info.plist file in the Media/PhotoData/MISC folder.
5. I also deleted the Photos.sqlite and PhotosAux.sqlite files in Media/PhotoData.
6. I then rebooted the phone and launched the Photo Library.
7. The Library rebuilt it's self again and recreated the thumbnails.
8. The problem was fixed!!! Thank you M Bentley!
I hope this helps - this has been bugging me for 2 weeks.

Problem Description:
Yesterday I updated my laptop's BIOS to F 5A - latest available on HP Website. Since then I have lost the bluetooth functionality, which was wroking just fine prior to the update. Now the system doesn't find a bluetooth device.
What I have already done:
1. Switched back to previous versions of BIOS (available on HP Website coz I didn't note the BIOS version before I updated it). - That didn't work.
2. Reseated the wireless card - Didn't work.
3. Manually checked the connection of bluetooth module to the motherboard - Connection was fine but it still didn't work.
4. Uninstalled the bluetooth driver and reinstalled it (HP integrated module WIDCOM) - still didn't work
5. Installed HP Wireless Agent - Didn't work
6. Installed HP Integrated module driver along with HP Wireless Agent - Didn't work
7. Installed Ubuntu to check if its recognizing the device - Even its not recognizing the device which it used to do earlier.
8. Sadly there's no BIOS setting in Setup which I can change to correct the bluetooth behaviour (Phoenix BIOS with limited interface).
After all the research, I am posting this because I am unable to find a sloution to this problem on my own. I request the members to please help.

I got the bluetooth working. Had to dismantle the laptop and found that a small switch was loose.

Problem with Home Sharing. Getting the error "The Requested URL was not Found on this Server"

I recently purchased an iPhone 5. As I do with all of my AppleTVs, iPads, iPods and an iPhone 4 in my home, I connected the 5 to my home network and accessed the shared video library using home sharing. My iTunes library is roughly 85% iTunes purchases, a handful of videos taken with iOS devices, and some video ripped with Handbrake. All of these videos work fine on all devices in my home except my new iPhone 5. When I access the shared video library on my iPhone 5, all of the textual data for all of the videos appears, however, I can only get the iPhone to play 1 video of the dozens in my iTunes library. When I try to play any other, I get the error, "The Requested URL was not Found on this Server."
Interestingly, only one video in my entire shared library displays the artwork associated with it in my iTunes library on my iPhone 5, and that's the one I can stream without a problem. Even more interestingly, that video I am able to stream was ripped using Handbrake (there are a number in my library ripped using Handbrake, but just this one will stream to my iPhone 5 for some reason).
I'm using the latest version of iTunes (10.7) on my home (iMac) computer (running OSX 10.8.2- Mountain Lion)and of course iOS 6 on the iPhone 5. I've tried resetting my iPhone several times as well as restarting my iMac which holds my iTunes library.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?

Can you see if you can view index page from a browser on iPhone.
Have you seen live streams working from a different computer...
if not then check if a proper crossdomain.xml file in its place(webroot folder).

No volume control elements and/or devices found

Hi, I recently installed Arch Linux and I followed the tutorials on how to configure it. At this moment I have Gnome installed and it is working fine, I only have one problem.
Every time if I try to access volume control I get the following error:
"No volume control elements and/or devices found"
I'm relatively new to Linux so it might be me just being stupid(Maybe I just don't have the right packages installed) but I've searched the web and I didn't find anything that could help, I also searched this site but there are only a few things about sound problems. I think the problem is caused because Linux is not detecting my sound card (its an on board sound card) or maybe I have not given the command to detect it/activate it. In Google I've found that 'lsmod' and 'lspci' commands are for detecting drivers, so I executed those in my terminal and put them here, I hope this might help fixing my problem.

Gonna reinstall it, things usually go better the second time.
make sure u have adding the user to audio group in order to access sound device.
gpasswd -a user audio
Yes, I think that was the problem. Anyways, I reinstalled Arch Linux and everything is working fine now.

This is a standard error message.
If you would have checked into the bootcamp forum you would have instantly found the solution.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1244&start=0
All that error message means is that you do not have enough conguous disk space available. No big deal at all for an older system. You have bits of files strewn over the "free space."
The solution as you would find in the bootcamp forum is to clone your HD, using a file-file clone, then test the clone to be sure it is working and then to erase your HD and clone back.
Works every time.

"ERROR: Could not read block 64439 of relation 1663/16385/16658: Result too large"

Hi,
I've already archived a lot of assets in my final cut server but since one week there is a message appearing when I click on an asset and choose "Archive". The pop-up says: "ERROR: Could not read block 64439 of relation 1663/16385/16658: Result too large"
Does anyone know what's the problem and/or have any suggestions to solve my problem?! I can't archive anymore since the first appearance of this message.
What happened before?
-> I archived some assets via FCS and then transfered the original media to an offline storage media. That system worked fine for the last months and my normal server stays quit small in storage use. But now, after I added some more new productions and let FCS generate the assets, it doesn't work anymore...
It's not about the file size - I tried even the smallest file I found in some productions.
It's not a particular production - I tried some different productions.
It's not about the storage - there's a lot of storage left on my server.
So, if someone knows how get this server back on the road - let me know.
THNX!
Chris

I would really appreciate some advice re: recent FCS search errors.
We're having similar issues to C.P.CGN's 2 year old post, it's only developed for us in the last few weeks.
Our FCS machine is running 10.6.8 mac os and 1.5.2 final cut server with the latest
OS 10.6.x updates.
FCS is still usable for 6 of 8 offliners, but on some machines, searching assets presents "ERROR: could not read block 74012 of relation1663/16385/16576: Input/output error."
Assuming the OS and/or data drives on the FCS machine were failing, I cloned the database drive today and will clone the OS drive tomorrow night, but after searching the forums and seeing similar error messages I'm not so sure.
FCS has been running fine for last 4 years, minus the recent Java security issues.
Thanks in advance, any ideas appreciated!

devfsadm fixed the issue,

SOLARIS 10 with iSCSI Problem "not a block device"

Hi Guys.
I almost reached it to build an iscsi connection with a Netgear readynas 2100.
But I have still one Point which makes me a Problem!!!
Everything works, except mounting the device....
It always Sais me: "not a block device"
At the bottom you can see an output of the whole configuration that I did.

Ok. Sorry i have to explaine it in an other way.
The Storage Device is a Netgear Ready NAS 2100.
Netgear Ready NAS with a Linux os.
The OS Supports different Protocols like: CIFS / FTP / HTTP/ iSCSI etc...
Now im trying to use an other protocoll (cifs) to store the data on the Netgear NAS.
i found smbclient and was able to open a connection to the NAS.

Is there a way to mount the smb connection when the server starts up?
I have to find a way to attach the NAS like a local folder...
And that is why i choose iSCSI before..

Hi,
To create Oracle ASM disks, there are some steps to do:
- Have raw Disks, and you don't have then you can create a pseudo disks with the command dd us yours.
- Install ASMLib
- Use the /etc/init.d/oracleasm to configure, create ASM disks
The command dd creates a pseudo-block disk, and this a solution: Create virtual RAW disks for Oracle ASM on Linux with single Hard Drive
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/asm/disk4 bs=1M count=2000
# losetup /dev/loop4 /asm/disk4
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ASM4 /dev/loop4
After the creation, you should scan your ASM disks: Wadhah DAOUEHI - Creation of ASM disks on Oracle Linux using ASMLib
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
Best regards
