Detection of Linux SWRaid members currently fails in a number of cases:
1) Arrays which use metadata type 0.90 or 1.0 store the super block at
the end of the partition. So file system signatures in at least
linear and mirrored arrays occur at the same offsets in the
underlying partitions. As libparted only recognises file systems
this is what is detected, rather than an SWRaid member.
# mdadm -E -s -v
ARRAY /dev/md/1 level=raid1 metadata=1.0 num-devices=2 UUID=15224a42:c25bbcd9:15db6000:4e5fe53a name=chimney:1
devices=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1
...
# wipefs /dev/sda1

2) Again with metadata type 0.90 or 1.0 arrays blkid may report the
contained file system instead of an SWRaid member. Have a single
example of this configuration with a mirrored array containing the
/boot file system. Blkid reports one member as ext4 and the other as
SWRaid!
# blkid | egrep 'sd[ab]1'
/dev/sda1: UUID="10ab5f7d-7d8a-4171-8b6a-5e973b402501" TYPE="ext4" LABEL="chimney-boot"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="15224a42-c25b-bcd9-15db-60004e5fe53a" UUID_SUB="0a095e45-9360-1b17-0ad1-1fe369e22b98" LABEL="chimney:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
Bypassing the blkid cache gets the correct result.
# blkid -c /dev/null /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: UUID="15224a42-c25b-bcd9-15db-60004e5fe53a" UUID_SUB="d0460f90-d11a-e80a-ee1c-3d104dae7e5d" LABEL="chimney:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
However this can't be used because if a user has a floppy configured
in the BIOS but no floppy attached, GParted will wait for minutes as
the kernel tries to access non-existent hardware on behalf of the
blkid query. See commit:
